The Marijuana Industry Trade Association (MITA) Presents Arizona Cannabiz Week

Arizona Cannabiz Week is a MITA original networking event series designed to bring together national cannabis executives and entrepreneurs from around the globe.

PHOENIX, Ariz., (March 2, 2022) — The Marijuana Industry Trade Association (MITA), named Arizona’s best place to network in the cannabis industry for the last six years, today announced a new series called Arizona Cannabiz Week consisting of multiple networking events designed to attract nationally recognized cannabis executives from around the globe, Wednesday, March 30 through Friday, April 1, 2022.

According to MITA co-founder Demitri Downing, the series will draw upper management, C-level executives, and policy makers in order to spotlight Arizona’s fast growing cannabis industry and raise money for a non-profit organization, Athletes for CARE. “As long as the cannabis industry exists in state by state siloed market structures, events like this one will serve as the go to avenue for migrating brands and retail dispensary groups.” 

The innovative series includes two evening networking opportunities, a women’s empowerment brunch, and a charity golf tournament spotlighting Paralympian gold medal winner Kaitlyn Verfuerth, and other star athletes.

“Arizona has a cannabis program that is the envy of the country. We encourage the public to join us for education, fun, non-profit fundraising and a rare opportunity to meet the movers and shakers of the national cannabis industry,” said MITA representative and Cannabiz Week event producer, David Fowler.
