Our Mission
Connecting cannabis conferences with the industry's most knowledgeable voices
Why We Exist
The cannabis industry produces thousands of conferences, panels, workshops, and educational events every year. Finding the right speaker for these events has traditionally been a fragmented, word-of-mouth process. Organizers spend hours searching LinkedIn, asking colleagues, and cold-emailing potential speakers. Meanwhile, qualified experts struggle to get discovered by the events that need their knowledge most.
CannabisSpeakers.com exists to solve this disconnect. We built a free, centralized directory where event organizers can discover cannabis industry experts by topic, format, and experience — and where speakers can make themselves visible to the people who book conferences.
What We Do
- Curate a speaker directory — We maintain a searchable directory of cannabis speakers organized by expertise, speaking format, and professional background. Every listing is reviewed for accuracy and relevance.
- Help organizers find the right voice — Whether you need a keynote speaker on federal policy, a panelist on social equity, or a workshop leader on cultivation science, we help you find the right match for your audience and event format.
- Support speakers — We help cannabis professionals build their speaking profiles, increase their visibility, and connect with opportunities they would not have found on their own.
- Track the conference landscape — We maintain information on major cannabis conferences and upcoming events, giving both speakers and organizers a clear picture of the industry calendar.
Our Values
Diversity
The cannabis industry benefits when its conferences reflect the full range of voices shaping the space. We actively work to surface speakers from underrepresented backgrounds, emerging markets, and non-traditional career paths.
Accuracy
Every speaker listing is reviewed for accuracy. We verify professional credentials, speaking history, and areas of expertise. Organizers can trust that the profiles in our directory represent real, qualified speakers.
Accessibility
Our directory is free to browse and free for speakers to join. We believe that connecting experts with audiences should not be gated behind expensive agency fees or exclusive networks.
Education First
We prioritize speakers who educate over those who simply promote. The best cannabis events leave audiences more informed, and we focus on experts who deliver genuine knowledge and insight.
