CEO Predicts $400 Million In Cannabis Industry Deals Will Happen In Just These 2 Days

The cannabis industry is on the brink of a monumental shift, with the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference poised to play a pivotal role in shaping its future. Set to take place on April 16 and 17, 2024, at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida, this event is not just another conference, it's where the future of cannabis begins. Benzinga CEO, Jason Raznick has boldly predicted that more than $400 million in deals will be sealed over these two days, underscoring the conference's significance as a nexus for industry deal-making. This prediction is based on deal volumes seen at Benzinga's 17 prior Cannabis Capital Conferences.

This year's gathering is set to be a record-breaker, with over 100 CEOs and 2,000 attendees expected. Keynote speaker Boris Jordan, CEO of Cureleaf, will lead a lineup of cannabis industry titans, including Canopy Growth's David Klein and Emily Paxhia of Poseidon Asset Management. The event will cover a broad spectrum of topics, offering insights from Tahira Rehmatullah of Highlands Venture Partners, Alexa Alianiello of X (formerly Twitter) and many more luminaries.

Raznick's vision for the conference is clear. "We have a star-studded conference lineup of active dealmakers and industry luminaries for our return to Florida," he said. "I predict $400M of deals will be done at this event. Our Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference is the must-attend event of the year for anyone looking to make their mark in the cannabis world. It’s the place to meet the biggest industry players and forge deals to drive the global cannabis industry forward."
