Last Chance to Save Up to $500 | | Super Early Bird Rates End TOMORROW AT MIDNIGHT | | | | Cannabis Conference (Aug. 15-17, 2023 | Las Vegas, NV) is pleased to announce our Keynote presentation: | What I’ve Learned in Cannabis:
A Candid Conversation with Chris Ball
| Chris Ball, CEO of Ball Family Farms, knows the hardships of the cannabis industry. From his experience with the painful repercussions of the failed war on drugs to his transition from a legacy cultivator to a bootstrapped social equity founder in the newly legal landscape in California, Chris knows the challenges of succeeding in cannabis. Even today, as new economic pressures hammer away at legal cannabis businesses, Chris knows that this is not an easy place to work—but he knows it’s a worthwhile endeavor. He shows up every day at Ball Family Farms with that conviction. With his entrepreneurial spirit and passion for the cannabis plant, Chris knows the value of building something for the long term in this industry.
In this candid Keynote Address, Chris will share: how cannabis entered his life and embedded itself in his future, details about his incarceration for selling cannabis at a young age and its impact on his life, his transition & journey into the legal market as one of the first Social Equity licensees in Los Angeles, the steep learning curve he faced as a CEO of a startup cultivation operation in the world’s largest cannabis market (California … As some say, if you can survive in LA, you can survive anywhere!), how he built a team while balancing family dynamics and professional relationships as the business grew rapidly, his evolution as CEO as he worked to manage revenue and profit, costs and spending decisions, his experiences and innovations in cannabis genetics, cultivation and the value of a brand, lessons he has learned from the market downturn and how to adapt, and his predictions for and insights into the cannabis industry’s future. Don’t miss this heartfelt, inspiring story about the realities of the cannabis industry, from prohibition to profit … and how the most passionate and persevering can succeed.
