About the Organizers
Sproutways
Sproutways brings an open framework to the cannabis and hemp industry. For the longest time, the market has been shrouded by a culture of prohibition. While the global legalization of cannabis and hemp is well underway, the legacy of secrecy is impeding the rapid growth of these markets. Sproutways intends to unlock the value of these markets by taking an open approach to the market. We offer our growers and ecosystem members an open education center, open marketplace and open transaction platform to drive out mistrust and inefficiencies and help our members capture value.
Santa Cruz Center of Botanical Studies
The Center serves as the first Cannabis and Essential Oil educator in the country providing science-based education about medicinal plants and how to harness their essence for restorative and therapeutic uses with clear and accessible live seminars and online courses.
Our goal is to empower communities with exclusive industry insights and trade best practices from professional experience in order to be self-sufficient in facilitating health and wellness. The Center is focused on preserving the values established in the Compassionate Use Act to elevate expertise & service to communities across the globe.
