MONTEREY, Calif. — A new addition to the schedule has been finalized for the 2018 Organic Grower Summit (OGS) in Monterey, California. OGS is excited to announce the 2018 CannaBus Tour, created in collaboration with the Monterey County Cannabis Industry Association (MCCIA), on Wednesday, December 12, 2018.
2018 OGS CannaBus Tour is an exclusive opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes look at the Monterey County cannabis industry. This limited tour includes visits to a state-of-the-art, indoor cannabis growing operation and Indus, a vertically integrated cannabis extraction and manufacturing facility.
With the growing, production and consumption of cannabis now legal in California, Monterey County is poised to be a leader in the growing and manufacturing of cannabis and cannabis related products. And as California moves to regulating organic growing of cannabis by 2021, OGS wants to be at the forefront of providing attendees with information and an educational overview of this burgeoning industry.
“The 2018 OGS CannaBus Tour is an opportunity to connect organic growers and allied service providers with all aspects of the cannabis industry. This is a unique opportunity to give OGS attendees a platform to learn about the future of the cannabis industry,” says MCCIA’s Executive Director John Arriaga.
The 2018 CannaBus Tour is $99 per ticket, and attendees must be registered for OGS. Please note, registration is available on a first-come, first serve opportunity for OGS attendees and there are no refunds.
OGS will be held December 12 through 13 at the Monterey Conference Center in Monterey, California. Attendee registration is $499, with discounts available for CCOF members and government and educational members. Attendees will also have the opportunity to purchase a ticket to the CCOF Foundation “We Are Organic” Dinner on Wednesday, December 12. Registration to OGS includes admittance to the opening reception, educational sessions, keynote presentations, breakfast, lunch, and trade show floor.
Over 40 sponsors have confirmed their support of OGS. The tradeshow floor is nearly sold out, with only 14 exhibitor spaces remaining. Exhibitors include soil amendment, bio-pesticide, seed, packaging, food safety, ag technology, and equipment manufacturers who will be connecting with organic field production staff, supply chain managers, pest management advisors, and food safety experts.
