Meadowlands returns to Camp Navarro this September 30th - October 3rd! View the full weekend agenda below and grab your tickets!
The theme for this year's cannabis industry retreat is "Coming Up for AIR." AIR stands for Activation, Integration and Rejuvenation. We want to use this time to activate the community to share their gifts and knowledge and support, to integrate the lessons of the pandemic with quiet time to lay in hammock or just be together in the redwoods, and to fill up our internal wells and practice self care so we can keep building this industry, together. Hear from former Meadowlands campers about this cannabis industry retreat.
California's new emergency regulations are here. Nicole Elliott, Director of the newly formed Department of Cannabis Control, will join us onstage at Meadowlands on Saturday, October 2 to answer questions from the community. We're seeking community input from industry professionals in the state of California to help us shape conversations with the DCC and local CA regulators. Submit your feedback to the DCC to help anonymously inform our conversations onstage at Meadowlands.
Meadowlands returns to Camp Navarro this September 30th - October 3, 2021. Reserve your ticket now!
