The Real Cannabis Entrepreneur Conference was created by NJ native Gary George (founder), after spending years traveling the country, attending cannabis events, cannabis conferences, conventions and seminars to find the specific how-to information on breaking into the industry.
After many years and dollars spent I realized most conferences were riddled with state of the industry, regulatory and legislative conversations, which although important fails to deliver the down and dirty blueprint that I was looking for to get started NOW!
I’m a serial entrepreneurs and own a 27 year old award winning digital marketing agency (Blazin Multimedia) so I understand the value of investing in mentors. But after realizing most cannabis conferences only covered surface level topics, we decided to CREATE THE SOLUTION to my own problem.
Our mission is to help level the playing field and the empower the underserved by providing information and guidance needed to tap into one of the biggest and fasting growing industries on the planet.
