The Global Investment Forum Is Coming To Austin, Texas May 6-7
The International Cannabis Business Conference is hosting The Global Investment Forum May 6-7, 2021 in Austin, Texas. The Austin event is the first in a series of three in-person Global Investment Forums for 2021, along with Berlin and Zurich.
The Global Investment Forum series showcases and facilitates alliances, partnerships, and joint ventures with a milieu of investors, start-up executives, service providers, and entrepreneurs.
The Global Investment Forum is Texas’ first cannabis investment event of its kind and is limited to 250 attendees. Starting off with the cannabis and finance industry’s top speakers and thought leaders, the event then leads into the company pitch portion of the event allowing companies to gain blanketed exposure to the International Cannabis Business Conference’s comprehensive network of investors, beginning with an initial quick pitch by company representatives on the main stage, followed by a two-hour session of face-to-face pitches, leading into a standing lunch. The pitches are followed by speed table networking and an open bar.
Jessica Billingsley will provide the keynote address at the Global Investment Forum. Billingsley serves as Akerna’s Chief Executive Officer. In June 2019 she became the first CEO of a cannabis ancillary company to be listed on Nasdaq. She co-founded MJ Freeway in 2010, where she served as President until April 2018, and later as the CEO until MJ Freeway was acquired by MTech to form Akerna. In 2015, she was named as one of Fortune’s Most Promising Female Entrepreneurs, in 2018, she was named one of Inc. Magazine’s 100 Female Founders, and in 2019, she was named to Entrepreneur’s inaugural list of 100 Powerful Women.
