Southern Hemp Expo 4

inside!”

Here we are in 2022 for the 4th Annual Southern Hemp Expo, where you can explore and expand your knowledge of industrial hemp, build and strengthen your business network, and meet with friends and colleagues, old and new, in this exciting and ever changing marketplace.

Hemp has seen its challenges in the past few years, like many industries, and building a hemp business today is not for the weak of heart. However, with the entrepreneurial and agricultural ingenuity on display in our industry, combined with cutting-edge research, policy discussions, environmental realizations, cultural considerations, investment opportunities and other topics of industry importance, the growth and sustainable future of this crop cannot be denied...there is no better time to get involved in the business of industrial hemp. Now is the time for leaders to rise, and to shine.

Presented by First Citizens Bank, this year we recognize and legitimize the value of the hemp supply chain. From hempderived CBD, CBG, CBC and other cannabinoids, to hemp foods, beverages, supplements, body care products, textiles, building materials, bioplastics, paper products, farm and processing machinery, technology and more – you will stay abreast of this rapidly evolving market at the 4th Annual Southern Hemp Expo.

We’d like to thank all of our sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, media partners, non-profit & social impact partners, industry support partners, and attendee/ticket buyers, without whom the Southern Hemp Expo return to Nashville would not be possible.

We hope you will make the most of your experience at the Southern Hemp Expo, and we are grateful for your participation, support and involvement in helping to do the right thing, and contribute in bringing balance back to Mother Earth.

Never Quit.

Morris Beegle, President of WAFBA - We Are For Better Alternatives Producer of Southern Hemp Expo & NoCo Hemp Expo

“Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. We’re so glad you could attend. Come inside!

Come
