ANAHEIM, Calif., June 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Cannabis Industry Association (CCIA), California's leading industry association, and the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA), the only national trade association representing the legal marijuana industry, announce the launch of a new business-to-business event - California Cannabis Business Conference, taking place at the Anaheim Marriott in Anaheim, CA, September 21-22, 2017.
