Tomorrow kicks off the National Marijuana Business Conference and Expo in Chicago, hosted by Marijuana Business Daily. I was originally going to attend the event but life got in the way. One thing that I was very much looking forward to was trying to attend the cruise that Women Grow is putting on. If you are attending the expo, you should really consider doing the cruise too. It’s going to be very fun, and it will be a stellar networking opportunity. As far as I know tickets are still available, and they are also still accepting sponsors for the event. Below are more details, via the Eventbrite page:
Wheather Update: With floor to celing windows on all three floors we are in for a fabulous cruise no matter what the weather.
LIMITED Ticket Sales at the Dock: We will have a limited supply of tickets for $125 CASH at the dock. Please come early to ensure you get one.
