SUMMARY:NY Indie Cannabis Retail Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join 3 hemp retail operators from 3 different regions of NY as 
 they pull back the cannabis curtain and reveal what happens at the interse
 ction of the plant and the public.  \n\nWhile waiting for NY Adult Use Di
 spensary Licenses to become available\, we look to those with a track reco
 rd of operating in the current NY Hemp Cannabinoid Retail space for best p
 ractices and strategies to establish a foothold in the local economy\, dif
 ferentiate and build a retail brand\, drive traffic and sales\, and manage
  consumer expectation\, confusion and misinformation around legalization.
   This panel will address what it’s like to run a brick-and-mortar cann
 abis retail business with strict guardrails\, compliance demands\, and fin
 ancial limitations\, while educating the public and advocating for additio
 nal access to more parts of the plant. In a fledgling industry\, there are
 n't decades of data or years of protocol to rely on\, so questions exist a
 round customer conversion from prospect to loyal shopper.  What can a ret
 ailer say to a prospective client when there are less than 2 minutes to ed
 ucate and empower them to make the sale? What ways can cannabis brands imp
 rove the chances that a retailer will choose to bring their brand forward 
 when recommending products to clients? Join us for real talk about how the
  current NY hemp retail market holds the clues for the future of Adult Use
  cannabis retail.\nPRESENTERS:\n\nAnne Forkutza\nHead of Strategic Growth\
