Following the successful launch of the first-ever Cannabis Drinks Expo (CDE) in San Francisco last year, Beverage Trade Network has organized a similar event for the Midwest; the one-day Cannabis Drinks Expo event in Chicago is slated for August 2020. CDE events are the only shows in North America dedicated to the business of cannabis drinks products, and the CDE Midwest conference features both a business conference and a tradeshow floor for exhibitors. A strong lineup of speakers includes experts in growing, manufacturing, distribution, packaging and branding — all focused on helping attendees learn how to leverage their current beverage infrastructure while growing in the burgeoning cannabis market. CDE also offers a tradeshow floor that creates the perfect opportunity for participants to interact with potential partners directly, find out what services are available and explore how to bring new products to market.
