CORE Summit

CORE Summit 2026 successfully brought together equity operators, cannabis businesses, regulators, advocated and municipal leaders for two impactful days centered on advancing equity in the cannabis industry. Turnout for the inaugural Summit was strong, and the programming delivered meaningful, high-level conversations and practical insights that resonated with attendees throughout the event.

Two of the most talked-about sessions were the Women shaping the Cannabis Industry panel, featuring powerful perspectives from industry leaders and advocates, and the inspiring Closing Keynote delivered by Stephanie Shepard of the Last Prisoner Project. From the evening Social and networking opportunities to the breakout tracks on compliance, funding, and marketing, CORE Summit created space for connection, collaboration, and hones dialogue focused on elevating equity in cannabis.
