Additionally, on Wednesday, April 17th, KCSA's weekly podcast The Green Rush will be recording live from the floor of the conference. Co-hosts and KCSA managing partner Lewis Goldberg and managing director of public relations Anne Donohoe will interview some of the top executives in attendance and discuss the intersection of cannabis, capital markets, legislation and culture.
