2020 Conference – Postponed
In light of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s March 11,2020 press conference regarding COVID-19 and the issued State of Emergency the 2020 New Mexico Medical Cannabis Conference has been postponed.
Our goal is to host this important conference in Summer of 2020 should this pandemic be under control. We will reschedule immediately following an update from the state regarding hosting large scale events.
For the past 3 years, the New Mexico Medical Cannabis Conference has brought national presentations to our local community.
This year’s conference features national doctors and experts in the cannabis field from our state and beyond. They will share researched-based education about a variety of cannabis topics that will benefit patients, health care practitioners and the community at large. In addition we will have CBD and cannabis vendors as well as legislative updates about cannabis legalization in our state.
Please note, presentation topics are subject to change. Final conference schedule will be available the last week in February.
