The CLAB conference comes at a critical time for Florida’s Cannabis industry

The 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo on Oct. 14 and Oct. 15 at the Diplomat Resort in Hollywood is anticipated to be a significant event for Florida’s cannabis industry. The conference, sponsored by Florida-based DAG Facilities, a national industry leader in the planning, design and construction of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) facilities, aims to provide a crucial platform for advocacy and education while showcasing the potential economic advantages, such as job creation, increased tax revenues and the social and health benefits of a regulated cannabis market.

The CLAB conference comes at a critical time for Florida’s Cannabis industry. This year carries higher stakes as Florida voters prepare to vote on Amendment 3 in November. Amendment 3 is a critical ballot measure that has the potential to legalize recreational Cannabis use across the state. Achieving a 60% vote is necessary for its passage, making it vital to rally support, raise awareness, and emphasize the impact legalizing Cannabis can bring to Florida’s economy, public health, and social equity.

“We are proud to be the presenting sponsor of the 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo,” says DAG’s CEO Mark Gemignani. “Florida is poised to become one of the largest Cannabis markets in the country. This conference comes at a critical time for Florida’s Cannabis industry, with 22 new licenses expected to be announced, and right before Florida’s general election, which includes a ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana in the state. At the conference, participants will have the opportunity to hear from key leaders in the industry and have important conversations about the ‘Yes on 3’ initiative, the benefits and misconceptions of cannabis legalization and more.”

The event will showcase the potential economic benefits, including job creation, increased tax revenues and the social and health advantages of a regulated cannabis market. It aims to offer a platform to address concerns and misconceptions about Cannabis, with an emphasis on the importance of a legal and controlled environment over the existing black market.

As Florida nears a possible significant policy shift, the 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo will be the catalyst for informed dialogue and decisive action, helping to ensure a brighter, more prosperous future for the state through the responsible legalization of Cannabis.

“DAG advocates for and supports the growth of Florida’s Cannabis industry and believes in responsible and safe use of Cannabis,” Gemignani says. “Having a more controlled product is good for consumer safety. It will also allow for more discoveries in health care, building our economy with a new industry. Florida’s Cannabis industry has the potential to be more inclusive than other industries.”
