The Vangst Cannabis Career Summit takes place on Thursday, January 18 at the City Hall venue in Denver. Lining City Hall will be cannabis companies of all sizes, ready to answer attendees questions regarding how to make the jump into the green space. It’s a once in a lifetime chance to talk to big name cannabis companies such as Native Roots, LivWell, O.pen Vape, and Leafly, to name a few.
