EMERALD CUP SESSIONS PANEL SPEAKERS ANNOUNCED TAKING ENTHEOGEN EDUCATION TO NEW HEIGHTS AT HARVEST BALL ‘22
From small farms to psychedelics, from successful strain selection to social equity, the Emerald Cup Sessions educational panels for Emerald Cup Harvest Ball 2022 feature a list of timely topics discussed in depth by a who’s who of thought leaders from across the entheogen space, all informing the audience with a hybrid blend of high-level insights only found at the Emerald Cup.
Almost an afterthought at many events, the discussion panels held at the Harvest Ball each year draw packed audiences eager to soak up the knowledge being shared by an incredibly diverse range of panelists, each bringing their own unique experiences into the conversation.
Education is at the root of cannabis culture and the propagation of this once secretive knowledge is more important now than ever before as countless new consumers enter the market and as new research unlocks the many benefits of plant medicines and the communities that they support.
Today, we are excited to announce the full Harvest Ball 2022 Emerald Cup Sessions speakers lineup. Head to the Emerald Cup WEBSITE to check out the complete list.
StateHouse Holdings Inc., a California-focused, vertically integrated cannabis enterprise and parent company of Harborside and Urbn Leaf, has stepped up to support the Emerald Cup to financially sponsor the annual Emerald Cup Small Farms Initiative, continuing the work that began at last year’s inaugural 2021 Emerald Cup Harvest Ball and allowing the Small Farms Council to expand its scope in the near future.
This ‘farm-to-table’ model is seen in communities from coast to coast across all forms of agriculture, except cannabis,” says Tim Blake of the Emerald Cup, now in its 19th year in operation. “It’s long overdue for America’s craft cannabis farmers to be able to connect with the folks who love their products the most – we’ve seen the devastation in the market when we keep such an interaction from being legal. We look forward to pushing AB 2691 to a successful passage here in California, and with the support of Statehouse, we’ll take it to the nation’s capital next.”
To determine the participants in this year’s Small Farms Initiative, the Small Farms Council worked with the Emerald Cup to evaluate license distribution among Northern California’s heritage cannabis-producing counties with active ordinances, allocating a proportional number of participants to each county. Empowered by Emerald Cup founder Tim Blake, the council includes Michael Katz of the Mendocino Cannabis Alliance, Genine Coleman of Origins Council, Chris Anderson of Redwood Roots Distribution, Nicholas Smilgys of Mendocino Cannabis Distribution, Traci Pellar of the Mendocino Producers Guild and Brandy Moulton of Sovereign 707.
On case you missed it, we’re stoked to announce this year’s daily lineup for Emerald Cup Harvest Ball 2022 and the addition of Single Day Passes.
Each day will be a new adventure with the Craft Cannabis Marketplace offering plenty of flavorful exploration set to the rhythm of a captivating roster featuring local and international chart-topping and emerging musical performers punctuated by culture-driving conversations with visionaries from the cannabis and psychedelics industries.
