Patient and Business Cannabis Conference Highlights the Lifestyle Brands Driving the Emerging Cannabis and Hemp Marketplaces + Elevates Cannabis and Hemp Industry Opportunities at Cox Convention Center 3.22-24.2020
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – March 4, 2020 /AxisWire/ Oklahoma Cannabis Expo [OCE] is the most exclusive and inclusive hemp, CBD and medical marijuana expo in America. The OCE is not only priceless to patients, but ‘inner circle’ industry exposure for professionals, and education for all. OCE showcases a goldmine of the most knowledgeable and successful professionals in the hemp and cannabis industries— all focused on elevating the industries, and furthering access, education and opportunities. A disruptive force in the 72B American cannabis and hemp markets, OCE aims to serve as a blueprint for the future of hemp and medical marijuana conferences — and conferences in general, as legalization marches across the United States.
The Founder: Amy Dawn Bourlon-Hilterbran, the owner of Millennium Grown, an event production company that specializes in the hemp and cannabis arenas, and as well, is the founder of OCE. She created the expo because she saw a need to incorporate education around the plant with tremendous professional opportunities. The Mission: to elevate the B2B experience with decision-makers, while also having B2C elements for those wanting to enter the industry, with a focus on the patient. The OCE will feature emerging and sophisticated cannabis brands and experts who will explore ways that people can incorporate hemp and medical cannabis into their lifestyles, their business, their investments. The OCE will also showcase companies and service providers who capitalize on opportunities for hemp entrepreneurs, elevate the cannabis experience for patients, and provide inner circle networking for the ambitious cannabis professional. Additionally, attendees can expect live music, entertainment and concessions.
The Next: Over 200,000 people, and 8% of Oklahoma citizens, are now medical marijuana patients after only one year since legalization, and that means “Patient Purchasing Power” [PPP]. PPP — to those who are ahead of the game and innovative within the hemp and medical cannabis industries — means massive opportunity. Knowing where to be involved, when, with who is now the inspiration for those taking the long view in their cannabis career. For patients, it’s critical to know which expo or conference to attend to get up-to-date medical information from the leading licensed medical professionals can mean success or failure in their goals to improve their health and wellness.
Tommy Chong, comedian, actor, director, activist states: Being a part of the OCE and bringing education, information and some laughs to people about the potentials of hemp and cannabis is an honor. Oklahoma has embraced the plant, patients have legal access and industry opportunities are everywhere. It’s a great example of citizens legalizing and capitalizing on many levels. Laws are changing and minds are changing and we are all learning that this is a very important medical option, but it is also an incredible opportunity for farmers, small business owners, and investors. Totally the green rush, with silver linings: changing laws, saving lives and preventing incarcerations over a plant.
Carolyn Gerin, Author, Activist, Founder: Cannawise.co; Co-author: Road Map for Revolutionaries: Cannabis is an economic, cultural, and healing force in America, and shows no signs of stopping as long as citizens, lawmakers, policymakers, and businesses demand and fight for legalization. State by state, we see the country opening hearts and minds to the plant as legalization marches forward, and all the way to the polls. Cannawise.co is proud to co-lead the National Cannabis Industry Associations Marketing and Advertising Committee MAC2020 (Election 2020) team — we promote change through activations, campaigns, media, strategic partnerships, and data capture to move our message into action to inspire people to show up at the polls (and run for office). The upcoming presidential election will be a game-changer for our industry: by pulling together as a community and industry — as activists and change agents — we can flip the script of what we are experiencing now. My agency, Cannawise.co is proud to have branded yet another great cannabis industry thought leader and community builder: the OCE. We are thrilled to support the great state of Oklahoma and the OCE for their tireless work in bringing cannabis awareness to the heartland, and bringing forward abundance, prosperity, healing, and market leadership.
Amy Dawn Bourlon-Hilterbran, owner of Millennium Grown and Founder of the Oklahoma Cannabis Expo states: Tackling issues of stigma and legalization in our home state, the Oklahoma Cannabis Expo [OCE] is educating patients while showcasing tangible market opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs to create prosperity and job creation. We aim to create a next-level conference: where top, legitimate, hemp and cannabis brands percolate in one curated eco-system. When people know where to go, who to work with, what to buy, and how to responsibly serve and dose cannabis, the industry (local and national) becomes coaligned with patient needs and everyone wins.
