About This Event
Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference has established itself as the premier event for cannabis investment and M&A activity, and the Chicago edition brings the financial conversation to the heart of the Midwest. Over three days, CEOs, investors, analysts, and deal-makers gather to discuss capital markets, evaluate opportunities, and forge the partnerships that shape the industry's financial future. Unlike traditional cannabis trade shows, Benzinga focuses exclusively on the business and investment side of the industry. Sessions feature public company executives discussing growth strategies, analysts breaking down market trends, and investors sharing their thesis on cannabis opportunities. The conference provides institutional-grade intelligence for sophisticated investors and operators seeking capital. The format facilitates deal-making. Scheduled one-on-one meetings connect companies seeking capital with qualified investors. Pitch sessions allow emerging operators to present to potential backers. Networking breaks and evening events provide the informal settings where term sheets get discussed and partnerships form. Chicago's central location and Illinois' mature cannabis market make it an ideal setting for Midwest-focused discussions while attracting national and international participants. For anyone involved in cannabis finance—whether raising capital, deploying capital, or advising on transactions—Benzinga delivers unmatched access to the industry's financial ecosystem.
