Benzinga CEO Jason Raznick is enthusiastic about the brilliant lineup and the coming together of so many in the industry after such a long hiatus.

"I think what is truly valuable at this conference are the connections that are made. There has been over $250 million raised from companies meeting investors at our events," Raznick said.

"That's what I am excited about...companies finding investors, suppliers, customers, partners, accountants, lawyers, underwriters, heads of exchanges at our event. If you're in the cannabis space, you need to be here, as this event is the 'room where it happens.'"
