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.

Sharon Clark

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.

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.

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.

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.

Amber McGuire
The Hippies Next Door

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.

Emily Rhiel

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!

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.

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.

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.

FAQs

GETTING TO THE VENUE

Please check your travel time to get to the Mission Springs Brewing Company at 7160 Oliver St., Mission, BC V2V 6K5 during registration (8:30-9:00am) and give yourself time for weather delays if necessary!

For anyone travelling from the west (Vancouver to Mission), you can take Hwy 1 to the Mission bridge. If you are taking Hwy 7 (Lougheed Hwy) please be prepared for possible delays due to the highway widening project between Maple Ridge and Mission.

PARKING

There is plenty of free on-site parking at the venue, but we do recommend car-pooling where possible. If the lot is full, there is some street parking on the west side of the venue, and I’m told the Walmart parking lot should be ok as well.

THE VENUE

We have rented the entire Mission Springs Brewing venue as a private event. There are two sides to it, our entrance is on the east side facing the Walmart building.

Entrance to the main meeting area is accessible, but there are a few small steps to get to the Speed-networking and the Event Partner areas. Please let us know if you require any assistance with stairs.

The venue can run a little chilly in some places, please be prepared.

SPEED-NETWORKING: How to Prepare

Be sure to bring enough Business Cards!

► The elevator pitch applies to Producers and Services primarily, as you will be presenting your business.
