“Just like the U.S., Latin America is currently experiencing monumental shifts in acceptance and new legislation,” Heinz said. “I hope that I can help people at the event understand what hurdles we are facing and the great potential for growth of the cannabis industry in Latin America. I’ve seen firsthand how much cannabis can positively impact people throughout Mexico, Brazil and several other Latin American countries and want to inspire more people to become involved in increasing access to all.”

The conference features more than 1,000 exhibitors and more than 100 top speakers.
