Cannabis Medical-Educational Conferences
UPCOMING EVENTS
IMCA conducts annual cannabis medical-educational conferences and brings together cannabis experts, licensed producers, industry professionals, large- and small-scale businesses, and cannabis students from across the world. Our educational conferences set the platform to share, build, network, and understand the growth of the cannabis market in the commercial and recreational sector and the projection of the industry in North America, especially in Canada.
These well-structured conferences typically happen in a span of two to three days involving cannabis seminars, guest speaker sessions, educational workshops, corporate presentations, Q&A sessions, training programs, and other cannabis related discussions. We aim at building the conference to serve as a one-stop opportunity to meet potential clients, employers, cannabis consulting experts, or cannabis providers that may develop your career, business, or educational path.
With extended affiliations, IMCA provides personalized networking opportunities for anyone looking for specific outcomes from attending these educational conferences. Our affiliation with NACPT Pharma College has produced thousands of cannabis graduates from diploma and certificate programs who are working in various successful cannabis companies or have built their own businesses in the industry. (See all the student-hired companies here.)
IMCA also offers specific membership for students and individuals seeking career change or upskill in the cannabis sector, to get free program consultation and to be introduced to the right programs. Being a student member of IMCA also naturally puts you as a priority for many employers in the industry, affiliated with the organization. We keep all student profiles updated to help connect skilled employees to potential employers as positions open up.
Testing, analysis, consulting, validation, R&D, and related services can also be provided by IMCA member companies to cannabis cultivators, licensed producers and QAP’s looking for such businesses. (Checkout our affiliate Validation Tech Inc for more!)
