INTLWCC Speaker Series: Pioneers and Innovators
2025-04-06 11:00 - 20:30 | Virtual
About this event

The International Women’s Cannabis Conference centers the voices of women and non-binary leaders shaping the global cannabis landscape. Through our Speaker Series, we spotlight diverse perspectives across education, business, healing, and lived experience. From grassroots activists to research scientists, our speakers reflect the full spectrum of cannabis engagement. Drawn from around the world, they invite audiences to step into their unique relationships with the plant—and the movements it inspires.
We honor the pioneers and innovators who broke barriers and carved paths where none existed. These women were often the first in rooms that weren’t built with them in mind—quietly shaping the future of cannabis through courage, vision, and persistence. Though their work was sometimes overlooked, their impact is undeniable. Today, we shine a light on the ones who made space for so many of us to stand tall and speak freely.
DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES
Our speakers represent a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and expertise in cannabis. This conference amplifies voices often left out of mainstream industry events, ensuring a richer and more inclusive conversation.
COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION
We center patient advocacy and community wellness while acknowledging business realities. Our content reflects the full spectrum of cannabis’ role in our lives—bridging healing, culture, and informed action.
COMMUNITY-CENTERED
Beyond industry trends, we focus on the people behind the plant—patients, advocates, and culture-makers. Our discussions highlight the role of cannabis in healing, justice, and collective empowerment.
COMPENSATED SPEAKERS
Expertise deserves recognition, and we prioritize paying our speakers for their time and knowledge. By valuing their contributions, we set a standard for equity in cannabis education and advocacy.
