Why This Topic Matters

The 2018 Farm Bill opened the floodgates for hemp and CBD, creating a parallel industry that operates under its own set of regulations, market dynamics, and scientific questions. Hemp and CBD speakers bring specialized expertise in a sector that straddles the line between agriculture, wellness, and cannabis — and faces unique regulatory challenges at both the federal and state level.

These speakers include hemp farmers who've navigated USDA compliance, CBD researchers studying efficacy and safety, executives who've built national retail brands, and regulatory experts tracking the FDA's evolving stance on cannabinoid products.

With the rise of hemp-derived cannabinoids like Delta-8 THC, CBG, and CBN creating new market opportunities and regulatory gray areas, hemp and CBD speakers help audiences understand the science, the law, and the business potential of this rapidly evolving space.
