About this event

The Connecticut Hemp Conference and Trade Show is the first of its kind in the state of Connecticut. Hemp, an emerging industry, is both environmentally sustainable and durable. The goal of the conference is to bring together advocates, cultivators, and businesses interested in the industry. The conference will cover healthy soils practices, local policy and regulations, Connecticut field trial results, as well as innovative production markets. The event will be a valuable resource for local producers and farmers who are seeking connections in the state as well as knowledge about local issues and opportunities. Planning partners include USDA NRCS, UCONN Extension, and CT RC&D. Generous sponsors include CT Department of Agriculture and CT Farm Bureau.

Exhibitor space is currently SOLD OUT. However, interested exhibitors may join the wait list. The exhibitor fee of $50 does not cover individual registrations. Please note separate registration for General Admission tickets per attendee is required.
