Published on 23/10/2023

The team members of Cultivators are always busy, between project management, training, and cultivation advice, we make sure to visit and contribute to international events.

Last two months we had multiple opportunities to be involved in several important conferences and exhibitions; CB Expo, Vertifarm, Canadian Greenhouse Conference, and EU Cannabis Summit. Not only attending but also presenting, moderating discussion panels, getting to know new professionals and companies, and more.

CB Expo took place September 16th in Dortmund, Germany. Sonny Moerenhout and Nicole Kuleshova attended this event, where Sonny moderated two panels; “Realizing Successful Cannabis Facility Design & Energy Efficiency” and “IPM Challenges in (Medical) Cannabis Cultivation.”
