    Let’s Talk Hemp Media Leads the Way with Virtual and In-Person Events; Announces New Partnership with RAD Expo, Las Vegas, NV, Las Vegas Convention Center, October 6-7, 2020

    National Media Platform Connects Hemp Community with Fall Trade Shows, Sets Sights on 2021, and Opens Doors to Retail and Dispensary Opportunities Nationwide.

    Denver, CO (July xx, 2020) – Let’s Talk Hemp, a nationally renowned media platform, is excited to announce its latest endeavor to generate new opportunities for the hemp and CBD industries by co-producing the cannabis-themed RAD (Retail and Dispensary) Expo. Now in its fourth year, RAD Expo is a business-to-business cannabis event, taking place this fall at the Las Vegas Convention Center, October 6-7, 2020. Let’s Talk Hemp is partnering with RAD Expo for the first time and intends to bridge hemp, CBD, and cannabis together to market to retail and dispensaries.

    A 100% B2B trade show, the expo will feature more than 300 retail-specific exhibitors and vendors in one setting. “Let’s Talk Hemp is proud to collaborate with RAD Expo. The in-person fall event sets the stage for the future of both industries and is a must-attend for hemp companies looking to expand their footprint in the cannabis market,” says Morris Beegle, Let’s Talk Hemp Media Co-founder and Producer of NoCo Hemp Expo and Southern Hemp Expo.

    Safety First: RAD Social Distancing Measures

    Let’s Talk Hemp, in conjunction with Marijuana Venture and Cannabis & Tech Today, will co-produce the in-person expo and they are working very closely with organizers and production and venue partners to enforce strict social distancing and safety measures for attendees, exhibitors, and vendors.

    “We are taking extended measures to ensure our team, attendees, and community’s safety and wellness during this time. We’re fortunate to be working with some of the most experienced venue and event partners, such as the Las Vegas Convention Center; Freeman Event Management and our hotel partner, Sahara Cares,” said Greg James, founder of RAD Expo and Marijuana Venture.

    The RAD Expo plans to implement the following COVID-19 precautions:

    • SOCIAL DISTANCING: Six-foot markers and spaces will be placed between exhibit booths, and time slots will be put in place at registration to control crowds.
    • PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Attendees will be provided with sponsored cloth masks and hand sanitizer for their protection and the protection of those around them.
    • SANITATION: All registration devices and microphones will be wiped down after every use. Hygiene reminders will be placed with signage and notifications on the RAD Expo App. There will be additional designated sanitation sites stocked with hand sanitizer and disposable disinfectant wipes.

    Beyond RAD + Save the Dates

    Beegle and the Let’s Talk Hemp Media team are looking forward to producing more events such as this fall’s RAD Expo, a Virtual conference and trade show in November, NoCo Hemp Expo’s NoCo7 event that will take place March 25-27, 2021 in Denver, CO, and the Southern Hemp Expo, slated for Aug. 20-21 in Nashville, TN.

    “We have already had a powerhouse schedule of virtual events this year, with successful turnouts at both our EARTH WEEK Virtual Conference and Trade Show and our most recent Experience Hemp SUMMER SOLSTICE event. We have our eyes set on charting a successful course to connect our community and industry with in-person events this fall and in 2021,” adds Beegle. “It will be exciting to see familiar and new faces, both in-person and online. We can unify and better serve the community with informative and appealing educational events.”

    New Dates Announced for NoCo7 Hemp Expo: March 25-27, 2021; Show Producers Chart Course for the Future with Expanded Initiatives

    NoCo Hemp Expo Producers Unveil Expanded Multimedia Platforms to Further Educate, Advance and Unite the Industrial Hemp Community, Including a Year in Review Virtual Conference & Trade Show, a Hemp-Themed Digital Magazine, Podcasts, Weekly Newsletter and More.

    Denver, CO (June 24, 2020) – On the heels of this month’s Experience Hemp SUMMER SOLSTICE Virtual Conference & Trade Show, event producers have announced new dates for the NoCoHemp Expo, which will now take place March 25-27, 2021. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, show organizers have had to shift plans in 2020 and remain optimistic in order for the industry and community to flourish. Originally scheduled for March 2020, and then rescheduled for this coming August, organizers made the hard decision to push NoCo7 to 2021, due to guidelines and event regulations set forth by the City of Denver.

    “The decision to reschedule NoCo7 was not easy and it was made over a period of time. The industry and our community’s wellbeing is at the top of mind, and in order to protect the health and safety of everyone, we had to make the decision to move the conference to next year,” said Morris Beegle, Let’s Talk Hemp Media Co-founder and Producer of NoCo Hemp Expo. "We're looking forward to an in-person event, but we will continue to plan virtual events that positively impact our
    industry, including a fall event that will coincide with this year’s harvest. We also plan to expand upon our Let’s Talk Hemp digital magazine, and will create new multimedia platforms to inform, educate and unite the hemp community.”

    NoCo7’s venue will remain the same and will take place at the famed National Western Complex, Denver, Colorado. Stay tuned for additional details on NoCo7 at www.nocohempexpo.com. Recent SUMMER SOLSTICE Conference Highlights Innovation; Call for Unity As the producers of NoCo Hemp Expo have pivoted and found ways to serve the growing hemp community during the coronavirus pandemic, the recently held Experience Hemp SUMMER SOLSTICE was well received. Insightful conversations on industrial uses of the entire hemp plant and technological advancements were primary themes throughout the virtual event that was held June 16-19, 2020.

    Beegle added, "We're committed to helping the hemp industry thrive. The Experience Hemp SUMMER SOLSTICE Virtual Conference & Expo solidified the need for our community to gather and share ideas while navigating these uncertain times." Participants accessed six live webcast Supersessions, which covered important topics relevant to the industrial hemp market today. More than thirty guest speakers, including presenting sponsor PureHemp Technologies, kicked off conversations centered on the evolution of hemp and its potential during these ever-changing times.

    Among the highlights included an earnest discussion on the arbitrary .3% vs. the 1% solution in which hemp advocates declared the current ruling as a roadblock for farmers. "We need to change federal guidelines while working with the USDA. We can do that by telling the stories of the farmers. Their stories will hopefully get us there so we can stop decriminalizing the pioneers of our
    industry. Without the farmers, we have nothing,” says Doug Fine, bestselling author, hemp farmer, and renowned industry advocate.
    Beegle agreed, “There is so much passion in our industry, and this .3% burden should not be on the farmer’s shoulders. Our only option in getting legislation passed is to stand together. We know there is a better solution out there, we need to unite on all fronts." Additionally, panelists discussed hemp’s potential for fiber, textiles, building materials and more, and addressed hemp as a key ingredient for food sovereignty. Participants also heard from investors regarding hemp's economic outlook and viability as a commodity beyond the CBD market.

    Fall Event – WAFBA Virtual Conference and Trade Show
    We Are For Better Alternatives (WAFBA), in conjunction with NoCo Hemp Expo and Let’;s Talk Hemp media are also pleased to announce plans for a third virtual event coming this fall on November 11-13, 2020. Details and registration will open soon.
