  • Colorado Governor and Hemp Industry Advocate Jared Polis to Be Featured Speaker at 6th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo in Denver

    Colorado Governor and Hemp Industry Advocate Jared Polis to Be Featured Speaker at 6th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo in Denver

    NoCo6 producer expects 8,000 – 10,000 visitors will attend the largest gathering of hemp industry professionals ever under one roof at the Crowne Plaza DIA Convention Center in Denver, March 28-30, 2019.

    DENVER (February 20, 2019) – Colorado’s newly elected Governor Jared Polis, who in his first State of the State speech in January 2019 announced his plan to “make good on the promise of industrial hemp,” will be a featured speaker at NoCo Hemp Expo, as the sixth annual gathering of hemp industry leaders makes its Denver debut with more exhibition space, educational programming, networking and after-event opportunities than ever before, March 28-30, 2019, at the Crowne Plaza DIA Convention Center.

    Polis, an entrepreneur, educational leader, former U.S. Congressman and Colorado native, is a longtime supporter of the hemp and cannabis industries. He advocated for expungement of non-violent cannabis-related criminal records, expansion of Colorado’s medical marijuana program and non-cooperation with enforcement of federal prohibition during his campaign. Polis even had the programs for his inauguration on January 8 printed on hemp paper.

    “Hemp is an amazingly versatile crop, and I’m proud to see Colorado’s rural communities leading the way to unleash its untapped economic potential,” he said during the campaign. “As Governor, I’ll support our farmers and innovators who want to develop industrial hemp—and I’ll tell the federal government to stay out of their way.”

    “We are honored to have Governor Polis, a friend, a believer, and a leading ally of the hemp industry, speak at NoCo6,” said Morris Beegle, co-founder of Colorado Hemp Company, which produces NoCo Hemp Expo. “Jared has supported this industry for a long time, not only with words, but with his actions as a Congressional representative for

    Colorado. We are excited to hear what he has to say about the future of hemp and the opportunities that exist not only for Coloradoan’s, but for people across the country and around the globe.”

    Governor Polis joins a vibrant speaker lineup at NoCo6, including hemp advocate David Bronner, Cosmic Engagement Officer (CEO) for top-selling Dr. Bronner’s natural soaps, and Michelle Barry, co-founder and CEO of VITA Technologies, which delivers customized innovation research, product development and brand launch tactics through quantum water biophysics and quantum biology.

    Hemp Farm & Agriculture Symposium Debuts at 5th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo, Largest Trade Gathering of the Emerging Industrial Hemp Industry

    The NoCo Hemp Expo Farm & Agriculture Symposium takes place on Saturday, April 7, 2018, as part of the 5th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo, April 6 – 7, 2018, at the Ranch Events Complex in Loveland, CO. 

    Loveland, CO (January 18, 2017) – As more states allow commercial hemp farming, farmers, growers, researchers and agriculture specialists will convene at the inaugural NoCo Hemp Farm & Agriculture Symposium on Saturday, April 7, 2018, in Loveland, CO, to learn about crop methodologies, regenerative farming best practices and market opportunities for the industrial hemp industry.

    States from Colorado to North Dakota to Kentucky are taking the lead in allowing farmers to grow industrial hemp, the non-psychoactive cousin to marijuana that has thousands of uses from food, textiles, dietary supplements and beauty care products to oil, paper, plastics, building materials and more. Yet, sharing of information and research among crop producers and farmers has been lagging in this emerging field.

    The Farm & Agriculture Symposium, presented by Bija Hemp, a leading industrial hemp seed innovator based in Denver, CO, and produced by the Colorado Hemp Company, is a new feature of the 5th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo, or NoCo5, the largest gathering of hemp thought leaders, speakers, producers, entrepreneurs, and exhibitors from around the globe.

    For farmers and agricultural producers, the full-day Farm & Ag Symposium will highlight early learnings, recommended production practices and market opportunities from pilot programs in Colorado, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and other states and regions where commercial hemp crops are permitted and/or licensed to be grown. The symposium also will feature new equipment for farmers and showcase agricultural exhibits.

    Taking place over two days, April 6-7, 2018, at the Ranch Events Complex in Loveland, CO, the 5th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo is presented by PureHemp Technology. Programming includes two exhibition halls, a business summit presented by Hemp Business Journal, a Global Hemp Village, the Farm & Agriculture Symposium and more, where NoCo5 will showcase the latest products, innovations, research and advancements in the hemp industry world-wide.

    Recognized by the Hemp Industries Association as the “Hemp Event of the Year,” NoCo5 is expected to draw more than 5,500 attendees and over 130 exhibitors. The trade show and conference is considered the most influential hemp-centric event in North America.
