Speakers didn't sugar coat the ups and downs of the business. How, to create
a business model from the ground up. The main thing that I came away with,
do it correctly from the beginning to end, always update, and don't be
afraid to try.
- Rebecca Clark
This was absolutely a one of kind experience compared to similar virtual
conferences. I loved how yall managed to keep it interesting, upbeat and a
fun experience all while we're learning all aspects of this wonderful

to not only want more but do more!! Thank you to everyone that made this
possible.

This was the best thing I've ever spent money on.The speakers literally
covered all spectrums of the Cannabis industry. The host was energetic and
positive, I could tell that they all work together as a family rather than
just colleagues. I learned so much in a few short days. I highly recommend
any event hosted by them!

The RCE was an awesome experience. The topics were relevant, the speakers
were genuine and the hosts were phenomenal. I made several great connections
amongst the attendees and I will definitely be attending in 2021.

internet conference was gonna be as exciting and interactive as it was but
you guys DELIVERED!!!! Thanks for the amazing time!!

The conference gave me so many tools that people would want to charge well
over $1,000 for. I was able to learn more about the science of making
infused pastries and ways to never touch the plant but still make money! It
was a life changer and I'll attend every event you guys have!

The Real Cannabis Entrepreneur Conference was created by us :) Husband and wife team, after spending years traveling the country, attending every cannabis conference, convention and seminar to find the specific how-to information on breaking into the industry.
After many years and dollars spent we realized most conferences were riddled with state of the industry, regulatory and legislative conversations, which although important fails to deliver the down and dirty blueprint that we were looking for to get started NOW!
We're serial entrepreneurs and own an event planning company so we understands the value of investing in mentors, but after realizing most cannabis conferences only covered surface level topics, we decided to CREATE THE SOLUTION to our own problem.
Our mission is to help level the playing field and the empower the underserved by providing information and guidance needed to tap into one of the biggest and fasting growing industries on the planet.
