“It is time we celebrated the talented individuals working behind the scenes to ensure the flower (and its byproducts) are all above standard,” said Randy Rowe, president of Grow Up, in a press release.
“The awards gala aims to shine a light on the great work happening locally and abroad for this industry of ours.”
The night will be hosted by appropriately named, Cash Cab host and comedian Adam Growe, with a performance by the ‘International Grand Champion of Magic,’ Greg Frewin.
There will also be numerous panels and speakers on site to help educate attendees.
“What we do with our sessions, we’ll have over 120 speakers, experts in cultivation and cannabis,” Rowe told Grow over the phone. “One of the things that we do is we dive deeper in with a couple of our technical sessions.
“When we talked about things like photobiology, genetics extraction, living soil. So really, it’s about educating and learning and collaborating and [making] the community stronger, getting stronger. So we’ve got our regular panels that are being held on the Thursday, which is part of our VIP conference. And then as part of that conference, we also have these technical sessions here a little bit longer in nature, but a little bit more in-depth.”
As another first for the annual conference a man the release calls the “Guru of Ganja,” Ed Rosenthal, a longtime cannabis advocate and grower will be inducted into the Grower Hall of Fame.
Rowe also says more speakers will be announced closer to the conference.
Tickets for the event are available online for $185.
