BOSTON, Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Burns & Levinson will host its third annual "State of the Cannabis Industry" conference, which will focus on capital markets, investments, M&A, and regulatory issues in the rapidly growing multi-billion dollar cannabis industry. The conference will be held on October 23, 2019 from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Westin Waltham Boston hotel.

The event, which is also sponsored by CohnReznick and KushCo Holdings, will feature an interview with Commissioner Steven Hoffman, Chairman of the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, in an exclusive one-on-one Q&A with Frank A. Segall, co-chair of the Cannabis Business & Law Advisory Group at Burns & Levinson. This is the second year that Hoffman has participated in this high-profile event, and the two will discuss current and future issues in the Massachusetts cannabis industry.

Keynote speakers include: Dan Fireman, founder of Fireman Capital Partners, and Karen Munkacy, MD, founder and CEO of Garden Remedies.

"Cannabis is already a multi-billion dollar industry, and its growth is projected to increase at an exponential and unprecedented rate in the coming years. This is opening up significant business opportunities in the capital markets, investments and M&A areas to invest in and acquire cannabis and cannabis-related companies," said Segall. "We want to help the investment and business community understand the risks and rewards, and give them the strategies they need to take advantage of these opportunities," added Scott Moskol, who co-chairs Burns' Cannabis Business & Law Advisory Group with Segall.

Past "State of the Cannabis Industry" conferences have focused on banking and institutional investing in the cannabis space.
