RHODE ISLAND MEDICAL MARIJUANA CONVENTION

For immediate release – March 5, 2015

Rhode Island Medical Marijuana Convention will feature 50+ vendors and 2 days of Industry Programming

New England Cannabis Conventions will be hosting its first Rhode Island show on Saturday May 16th and Sunday May 17th at the RI Convention Center in downtown Providence. For a $25/day admission price, attendees at the event will have the opportunity to network with over 50 local & national Cannabis Industry businesses, talk with Doctors & health care providers, explore investment & career opportunities, and shop for a huge variety of the latest & greatest smoking, vaping, and growing accessories. They will also be able to attend a full slate of Medical Marijuana panels, workshops, and lectures led by MMJ experts from every aspect of the business.

After the success of their Boston Convention in February (over 5,000 attendees), the NECC is proud to be bringing the focus of the Medical Marijuana community to Rhode Island, the first New England state to legally recognize the medicinal value of Marijuana. “Rhode Island has been a national leader in destroying the myths & educating people about medical marijuana for a decade. We’ve very excited to be creating a networking hub for caregivers, patients, advocates, businesses, and investors from all over the north east and beyond,” said Marc Shepard, Co-Founder of NECC. “For anyone who is interested in seeing the true scope of the Medical Marijuana Industry and its enormous potential, this is the place to be.”

The show is open to the public (must be 18+), and no smoking or vaping is allowed in the building. Tickets for the event will go on sale online at March 10th at newenglandcannabisconventions.com A limited amount of tickets will also be available the days of the shows. NOTE: This is an industry & accessory show ONLY. No medicinal marijuana will be present at the show.
