As a continuation of its ongoing dedication to the budding Cannabis industry, Florida-based DAG Facilities – a national industry leader in the planning, design and construction of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) facilities for the indoor agriculture industry – is proud to serve as the presenting sponsor of the 7th Annual Cannabis LAB (CLAB) Conference and Expo. The 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo will take place on Oct. 14-15 at the Diplomat Resort in Hollywood, Florida.
 
The 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo is expected to be a landmark event for Florida’s Cannabis industry. The stakes are higher than ever this year as Florida voters prepare to decide on Amendment 3 in November, a crucial ballot measure that could legalize recreational Cannabis use across the state. With a 60% vote needed to pass, it is essential to garner support, spread awareness and highlight the transformative impact that legalizing Cannabis can have on Florida’s economy, public health and social equity.
 
The conference will be a pivotal platform for advocacy and education. Bringing together Cannabis industry leaders, business executives, celebrities and politicians, the event offers a unique opportunity to make a compelling, unified statement about the benefits of Cannabis legalization. Attendees will have the opportunity to network, share insights and strategize on how to amplify the “Yes on 3” message. The collective influence of these key stakeholders can significantly shape public opinion and demonstrate the broad, bipartisan support for this initiative.
 
Participants are invited to contribute to a historic effort to redefine Florida’s Cannabis landscape. This event will highlight the potential economic benefits, such as job creation, increased tax revenues and the social and health advantages of a regulated Cannabis market. It will also provide a forum to address concerns and misconceptions about Cannabis, emphasizing the importance of a legal and controlled environment over the existing black market.
 
As Florida nears a possible significant policy shift, the 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo will be the catalyst for informed dialogue and decisive action, helping to ensure a brighter, more prosperous future for the state through the responsible legalization of Cannabis.
 
Mr. Trainwreck, a critically acclaimed artist known for showcasing at Red Dot during Art Basel Miami Beach and throughout New York City, has been selected to create signature artwork for the event. He plans to showcase a chosen collection of his artwork of iconic 3D pop collage paintings and sculptures at the upcoming 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo, turning the location into a special art display. Alongside his presentation, there will be a silent auction offering attendees a chance to purchase art from his renowned collection.
