As New York, New Jersey and Connecticut examine how best to legalize cannabis, hundreds of high-net-worth investors from around the world will gather at the latest Arcview Investor Forum: The Evolution of Cannabis: 2020. The forum will be held in NYC across a fast-paced, half-day, full-day, half-day schedule from Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 1PM to Friday, Oct. 4, 2019, at 1PM, and will include on-stage conversations with the biggest fund managers and CEOs of the largest cannabis companies.
Arcview is the leading source for both sides of cannabis investments; a community empowering both investors and entrepreneurs to save time, mitigate risk and achieve more. Arcview members have access to top industry leaders, deep sector experience, curated financial opportunities, actionable data and proprietary insights & information. And the opportunities continue to grow. According to the seventh edition in the series of the widely-cited "State of Legal Cannabis Markets" Reports, by Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics, the market saw a 20 percent growth rate in the global sales of cannabis in regulated markets in 2018 with sales on track to surge 36 percent to $14.9 billion in 2019 and break $40 billion by 2024.
“New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are teed up to become the epicenter of the cannabis industry in the coming years,” said Troy Dayton, CEO and co-Founder of The Arcview Group. “With existing state cannabis markets maturing and more states legalizing soon, a whole new class of investor is looking to place their capital in the right opportunities before federal legalization remakes the industry yet again. Arcview is where serious investors gain insights and build the relationships that will define their future in this sector. There is so much noise in this exciting industry. Arcview assists investors to cut through that noise.”
In addition to on-stage conversations with the biggest fund managers and CEOs of the largest cannabis companies, several cannabis companies out of a field of hundreds of applicants will present to investors in our ‘Shark Tank’ style format.
