Grow Up Conference, Expo and Awards Returns to Niagara Falls this September

Niagara Falls, ON, July 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The cannabis sector in North America continues to be dynamic as Licensed Producers seek efficiencies in productivity while maintaining a dedication to high quality to address tight margins.  Grow Up Conference, Expo and Awards brings the cultivation industry together in Niagara Falls, ON from September 12-14^th . 

ND Supplies Packaging Solutions is proud to be presenting this preeminent B2B cannabis conference at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada for its 5^th year. Join old friends and make new connections while learning, networking and enjoying this world-class event.

Named the best cannabis conference by High! Canada Magazine and Toronto Sun’s Reader’s Choice for best cannabis event, Grow Up promises to live up to its long-established international reputation as the best cultivation show for cannabis growers. Hundreds of delegates will be in attendance for more than 40 sessions featuring over 80 speakers across 30,000 square feet of expo floor – to ensure there is something for everyone. Invitations to head growers and purchasing agents of Canadian Licensed Producers ensure our exhibitors and participating delegates have the opportunity to interact with the largest group of cannabis growers in one spot.

“We are excited to be back in the Niagara region, which has been the hub for cannabis growers for decades,” says Randy Rowe, president of Grow Up Conference. With the state of New York on the verge of legalizing cannabis, Grow Up provides a great resource for entrepreneurs in Upstate New York to come and explore the opportunities in cannabis. “We have several consultants and suppliers at the show that are currently working with New York companies in preparation for legalization,” Rowe adds.

Grow Up kicks off this 3-day event on September 12th by bringing the best minds that are shaping the future of how this plant will be cultivated. The VIP Industry Day will further explore the resistance by governments, health care practitioners and society in general to accepting cannabis as medicine.
