Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: LIFT) (OTCQB: LFCOF) today announced the programming lineup and new consumer features for the Lift & Co. Cannabis Business Conference (LCBC) and Expo Vancouver 2020 this January 9 to 11, 2020. The weekend opens with the Lift & Co. Cannabis Business Conference (LCBC) on Thursday, January 9, a full day of stage programming ideal for senior leaders and investors across the industry with topics on data and analytics, brand reputation, and special sessions on emerging markets abroad. The show floor doors open on Friday, January 10 with the Expo Industry Day, targeted to existing and prospective cannabis professionals, followed by Expo Consumer Day on Saturday, January 11, a full day on the tradeshow floor that brings the industry and the consumer together. Kickstarting the year in cannabis, the Lift & Co. Cannabis Expo Vancouver 2020 will have a strong focus on Cannabis 2.0—edibles, topicals, concentrates—that will have just started to appear in stores. According to a recent report by Lift & Co. and EY Canada, 70% of consumers did not know what they were going to purchase before entering a cannabis store, highlighting an ongoing need for brand and product education and awareness. This event gives attendees those much-needed interactions with current and upcoming brands, and an immersive cannabis experience through exposure to hundreds of cannabis exhibitors and curated programming. “The Lift & Co. Expo has become a launchpad for Canadian brands and new products, and the mainstage for our industry’s top thought leaders,” said Matei Olaru, CEO of Lift & Co. “This year’s focus on consumer intelligence, and our joint keynote with EY Canada and Nielsen in particular, speak to the evolution of our show and the maturation of the industry.” Consumers, industry professionals and the “canna curious” will get a first look at the types of “cannabis 2.0” products that will be available in Canada in 2020—key exhibitors will show products like high-tech vapes, and non-infused previews of upcoming ingestibles such as premium teas, ready-to-drink beverages, and edibles including local BC-produced products. As retail continues to expand across the country, the show will also feature dedicated budtender activities on-site and some of the country’s top retail specialists on-stage.
