Meet Our Keynote Speakers!

Cannabis Conference (August 24-26 | Las Vegas) is just around the corner! Don’t miss our two dynamic keynote presentations on Aug. 24 and Aug. 25:

Day 1 Keynote
Tuesday, August 24
2:10 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Keynote: A Fireside Chat With Sherbinskis’ Mario Guzman

Creating a cannabis brand as well-known and respected as Sherbinskis involves much more than cultivating quality plants and telling a good story. It takes an unwavering passion for cannabis, belief in its medicinal properties and commitment to innovation to build a brand recognized worldwide. In this candid interview led by Cannabis Conference Digital Editor Eric Sandy, Sherbinskis Founder and Chief Creative Officer Mario Guzman will tell his dynamic cannabis story—from his humble beginnings as an entrepreneur working from his garage to becoming a world-famous tastemaker and curator of high-quality genetics.

Mario will discuss lessons learned along the way, from scaling his business in California to finding multi-state and retail partners, as well as recognizing the importance of diversity and inclusion in his business model. With an eye to the future, Mario will also share what’s on the horizon with cannabis genetics trends, medical research, ‘seed-to-scale’ cultivation and much more.

Keynote: Sue‘n The DEA: The Story Of A Cannabis Research Breakthrough

In this special keynote session, Sue Sisley, MD—a pioneering medical cannabis researcher and volunteer medical director for more than 40 state cannabis licensees—will share her journey of navigating the rocky road of medical cannabis research, in all its scientific and legal complexity. Dr. Sisley will outline cutting-edge discoveries from her roles in cannabis studies for pain management, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as a substitution therapy for opioids, and more. Then, she will walk through how she and two young lawyers took on the DEA and DOJ through litigation and succeeded—effectively eliminating the 52-year-old government monopoly on cultivating cannabis for Schedule I research. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from an industry trailblazer whose courage and perseverance has broadened medical cannabis horizons and helped fix a broken system for generations to come.
