Our Mission, BC event features signature networking activities and roundtable discussions, where industry leaders engage in dynamic conversations on key challenges and opportunities. Insights gathered are shared with regulators, ensuring the voices of those actively working in the industry are heard.

Attendees will enjoy networking opportunities, engaging discussions, a delicious lunch, and the beautiful cannabis-friendly patio!

Start your day engaging with our core B2B audience, then shift into the afternoon as we open up the space to the broader retail community—all in a vibrant outdoor venue overlooking the Fraser River. Don’t miss your chance to make a lasting impression!

One of the best cannabis events I’ve attended

This was one of the best cannabis events I’ve attended in recent memory. It was professionally managed, well-balanced, and offered excellent networking opportunities, engaging content, and impressive booths.

Adding to the fabric of the industry…

I appreciate the opportunity to talk with some of the movers and shakers here in Alberta. The reciprocal dialogue was really great, and your innovative tools for fast networking were a blast for all. Thanks again for adding to the fabric of the industry in such a meaningful way.

Ashley Neuman

Lots of insight into what’s going on in this industry…

There was lots of insight into what’s going on in this industry and it’s incredible that you gave this opportunity to everyone to share their expertise. Thank you for putting on an awesome event!

David Wood

You understand the industry and the people…

I loved this event. It is great, and pairing with Tether the night before was perfect. You understand the industry and the people!

Catherine Jones

Most productive and professional cannabis event

I have been attending StratCann conferences for 2 years – they are the MOST productive and professional shows I have been to in the industry. Not only are they extremely educational, they are the MOST productive for sales and services I have ever had at a Cannabis tradeshow or event.

Cody Hicks

The best cannabis conference I’ve been to…

In terms of organization, networking, and subject matter, it was truly the best cannabis conference I’ve been to.

Focus on independent retailers and growers…

I like that you focus on smaller independent retailers and growers as we often don’t have the resources to be heard as loud as the larger corporations.

A great opportunity to meet independent and micro growers…

The atmosphere was electric! It was such a great opportunity to meet some independent and micro growers we didn’t even know were around; these growers will definitely serve as an excellent addition to our menu. All thanks to StratCann’s incredible crew.

One of the most worthwhile events I have attended…

The Growing Relationships event by StratCann was one of the most worthwhile events I have attended this year. It was nice to meet so many people from all sides of the industry. It was a pleasure to participate in the retailer panel. Looking forward to more events.

Navin Paintal

Amazing, productive and progressive event…

Amazing, productive and progressive event! Appreciate your follow-up and all your efforts to make it so successful.

Danielle French

Helped me remember I am part of a passionate community…

It helped me tremendously to remember and feel that I am part of a passionate community and not just existing in a silo as so many others described. I feel that was due to the independent retailer and micro-grow focus, so I really appreciated that and found it was such a constructive conversation.

One of the most eye-opening and effective conferences…

I found so much value in StratCann’s Growing Relationships event and believe everyone should get to one at least once. It’s one of the most eye-opening and effective conferences I’ve attended. Putting everyone in a room to discuss and try to tackle all the issues together, ADORED IT!

Eagerly anticipating the next one!

Thank you for bringing Growing Relationships to Winnipeg. The feedback I received from producers, reps and retailers has been incredibly positive, and everyone is eagerly anticipating the next one.
