“Last year at our first annual cannabis conference, we focused on institutional investing in the cannabis space. This year, our focus is on the technological developments that are propelling much of the innovation and excitement in the cannabis industry right now,” Frank Segall, co-chair of the Cannabis Business Advisory Group at Burns & Levinson, said in a statement.

“We want to help the investment community understand how new technology solutions influence the industry, what the future looks like and where opportunities can be found,” added Scott Moskol, who co-chairs Burns’ Cannabis Business Advisory Group with Segall.

Specific panel sessions will focus on the state of the cannabis industry, analyzing the capital flow of the legal cannabis industry, how tech and data are shaping the industry and the future of banking in cannabis.
