Cleveland, Ohio – Ohio Cannabis Health & Business Summit Scheduled for October 2024
The fifth-annual Ohio Cannabis Health & Business Summit (OCHBS) will take place on October 3-4, 2024, at the IX Center in Cleveland. With expectations of up to 6,000 attendees, including industry operators, consumers, and cannabis enthusiasts, the summit is set to run daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Nearly 150 cannabis companies will showcase their products and services this year, primarily including cultivators, processors, and companies involved in automation and nutrients. These exhibitors will come from various regions, including California, Israel, and China.
The summit’s primary goal is to educate participants on a broad array of topics within the cannabis industry. The education sessions will cover diverse topics such as home growing, cooking with cannabis, and detailed insights into Ohio’s medical cannabis program. This initiative aims to equip attendees with the knowledge they need to navigate both patient care and business growth within the industry.
In addition to educational sessions, OCHBS will provide opportunities for attendees to engage personally with company representatives and industry experts, fostering a deeper understanding of various products and brands available in the market. The summit will also feature valuable networking opportunities for those seeking employment within the cannabis sector, with job openings for roles such as budtenders, brand ambassadors, and trimmers.
Job seekers are encouraged to bring their resumes, as numerous industry CEOs and human resources personnel will be present at the summit. This ensures a unique chance to connect with potential employers in a rapidly growing field.
Ticket pricing for the OCHBS has been set at $50 for a two-day pass and $27.78 for a one-day pass when purchased online. It is worth noting that in-person tickets will be slightly more expensive. Additionally, there will be an afterparty at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on October 3rd, from 8 p.m. to midnight, featuring celebrity guests such as R.J. Mitte, Charles Wright, Mr. Mixx, and various DJs. Tickets for the afterparty are priced at $111 and must be purchased online.
Last year, the event successfully attracted 1,000 attendees and sold out, reflecting growing interest in the cannabis industry within Ohio. The summit was originally founded in 2019 and has previously taken place at the Crowne Plaza in Independence, Ohio. However, it faced interruptions in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The OCHBS resumed in 2022 at the IX Center, which has become its new venue.
The founder of the summit aimed to create an educational platform in response to the evident lack of knowledge surrounding cannabis. The 2024 summit is poised to build on past success and cater to the increasing demand for information in this evolving industry.
