More than an awards ceremony
While everyone loves a good awards ceremony, the World CBD Awards is much more than just a glitzy gala and ceremony that recognises the best of the best. The itinerary was jam-packed with eminent speakers and engaging discussions regarding all facets of the industry, allowing attendees to network, forge relationships, learn, and further their careers by connecting with the best minds in the field.
However, it wasn’t all work and no play. Guests also had the chance to relax and enjoy the atmosphere and camaraderie of the industry.
With the predicted growth across the industry and improvements in standards and cannabis legislation, it will be interesting to see how far the sector has come by the next World CBD Awards.
