Attendees will engage in interactive panel discussions, workshops, and networking sessions designed to tackle the most pressing human capital issues affecting cannabis businesses today.

"The best service we can do to the cannabis industry is use our reach to provide a platform that empowers HR executives to deliver on the promise of aligning purpose with productivity within their workforce," said David Belsky, CEO of FlowerHire. "The Cannabis HR Leadership Summit forges a strong industry HR community by allowing a free exchange of strategies, learnings, and solutions that are effective in Cannabis HR."

The symposium will feature expert-led sessions covering topics like benefits strategy, workplace culture development, and performance management. Along with providing HR leaders the opportunity to share best practices, discuss emerging trends, and build lasting professional connections, the FlowerHire Leadership Summit allows participants an opportunity to substantively shape the direction of the cannabis industry going forward.

As a comprehensive retirement benefits provider, LRS understands the importance of legal, competitive, and flexible benefits packages in attracting and retaining top talent in an industry where traditional financial institutions have historically been reluctant to engage.
