Cannabis Box Forum
The Social and International Forum becomes the Cannabis Box Forum, a natural evolution of a new debate space
During the past five editions of the EXPOGROW trade show, one of its main pillars has been the Social International Cannabis Forum which has become as a cultural reference event about Cannabis and its policies for other national and international forums and debates.
Its new format, CANNABIS BOX FORUM, will integrate, for the first time, the forum space inside the fair and will present a new range of discussion themes, more varied and dynamic. This new space will change the lectern stage for a talk show format in which speakers and attendees will be able to interact.
On Friday 15th the debate will be more focused on the therapeutical aspects, more up-to-day than ever. Saturday 16th will be the perfect time to share experiences with our very special guests who belong to the world of music, activism, and cannabis cultivation. EXPOGROW and the FUNDACIÓN RENOVATIO, organizers of this debate space, will soon give further information about the CANNABIS BOX FORUM content.
