Benzinga, a leading financial media outlet, is announcing the final lineup for the third iteration of the Cannabis Capital Conference in Toronto, April 17-18.

Day one of the event brings top cannabis executives, multistate operators, leading investors, pioneers in the pharmaceutical space and more in front of attendees.

Exclusive keynote speakers include Kush Supply Co. Chief Revenue Officer Jason Vegotsky on day one and Organigram CEO Greg Engel on day two. Intimate fireside chats will cover topics surrounding the developments of multi-state operators, cannabis industry software, pharmaceuticals and expansive branding.

Richard Carleton of the Canadian Securities Exchange, Alfred Avanessy of Cormark, Brent Johnson of Hoban Law and Drake Sutton-Shearer of PROHBTD will discuss ways in which the industry has pivoted from Canada to the U.S. and beyond, including penetration into Latin America.

To discuss these budding opportunities in Latin America, Kyle Detwiler of CleverLeaves, Chuck Smith of Dixie Brands and Maruf Raza of MNP will share their deep knowledge and experience in the foreign space, while providing smart overseas insights for cannabis companies and investors alike.

At a time of market volatility, Benzinga has again wrangled the top players in the cannabis world for the investing panel in Toronto. CNBC’s Tim Seymour will moderate a conversation among executives like Tahira Rehmatullah of Hypur Ventures, Jon Trauben of Altitude Investment Management, Narbe Alexandrian of Canopy Rivers Inc. and Matt Hawkins of Cresco Capital.

On the U.S. side of cannabis, four of the most successful cannabis executives — Julius Kalcevich of iAnthus, Kim Rivers of Trulieve, Vahan Ajamian of MedMen and Mitch Kahn of Grassroots Cannabis — will join CNBC’s Jon Najarian to provide an overview of operating as a multistate operator.

In a fast-growing industry, building a unique brand is imperative. To finish the day, “King of Instagram” and Ignite Founder Dan Bilzerian will talk with Jon Najarian about how he built his company and his brand. Check out the full agenda here.
