“The opportunity provided at the Great Lakes Cannabis Education Conference for engagement between regulators, industry, and academia reinforced the amazing opportunities in Michigan in the burgeoning cannabis space.

"As the leading provider of analytical instruments for the cannabis industry, and as a long-time advocate for the academic community, Shimadzu was proud to sponsor the inaugural Great Lakes Cannabis Education Conference. The conference served a vital role in connecting local industry experts across a variety of backgrounds while providing us with the opportunity to showcase our solutions and interact with customers, other vendors, faculty, and students.

“I have been to cannabis-related conferences throughout the United States and Canada, but what sets the Great Lakes Cannabis Education Conference apart is that it not only brings together industry stakeholders, government officials, and public policy advocates, but also members of academia. Moreover, the fact that the Conference is on Northern Michigan University’s campus and widely attended by students brings a unique energy and creates fascinating discussions about the cannabis industry and its future.”

-Doug Mains, Partner, Honigman
