Building partnerships with the c-store industry's leading cannabis category managers

Being part of the first ever CSP Cannabis Forum—and having the chance to present alongside so many thoughtful operators, brands, and industry experts—was awesome. The openness, curiosity, and willingness to engage from retailers of all sizes made this feel less like a conference and more like the start of a movement.

The CSP Cannabis Forum delivered what the industry needs right now, clarity, access, and real conversations that move business forward. Retailers, suppliers, and lobbyist were in the same room working through THC in a practical way. The short, focused session kept it efficient. The strongest part was the customer engagement. Retailers shared what is working, what is not, and how they are handling compliance, merchandising, and demand in real time. The one on one meetings with retailers were of the highest value. The event was also clear on regulation. The opportunity is there, but action is needed now. Teams have to move with discipline and speed to find a responsible solution was a clear message repeated. If you are serious about THC beverages or edibles in convenience, this is time well spent. You leave with better insight, stronger relationships, and a clear path to execute in the near term.

I had the opportunity to attend the CSP Cannabis Forum, and it was an incredibly insightful event. The panel discussions brought valuable perspectives on regulatory compliance, market trends, and emerging opportunities within the cannabis space. The networking opportunities were equally impactful, allowing attendees to connect with professionals across multiple sectors of the industry. The forum created an open and informative environment where both seasoned experts and newcomers could engage in meaningful conversations. Overall, this event exceeded expectations and served as a valuable platform for education, collaboration, and innovation within the evolving cannabis industry. I look forward to attending future forums.

I had some doubts if the right category buyers would be in attendance, and they were not only in attendance, but very engaged. You executed what you said you would try to execute, and that is a lot more than majority of trade shows. The event was Quality of Quantity, Thank You for that.

This event was fantastic! The connections made over just two days will undoubtedly open doors that might otherwise have taken years to create. The energy from everyone involved was incredible. Attendees came seeking education and resources — and without a doubt, they left with both.

For anyone looking to gain leading knowledge on all things cannabis-related, there is no better event.

I’ve been attending cannabis conventions for 22 years and no other event has had a greater impact on my business and vision for the future.
