Monterey Cannabis Summit, Presented by MCCIA + CCIA --- This panel will focus on the wide range of funding opportunities for both large and small-scale cannabis businesses and the realities that ensue in these types of partnerships.  The panelists will discuss the legal responsibilities and ramifications for both the investors and the invested party; what potential investors are looking for and expect from these investments, and the types of investments to pursue whether it’s for start-up, expansion and/or upgrade purposes, and the tax implications.

The Alternative Investing Summit will bring together trustees and representatives of institutions as well as money managers and consultants to explore the roles of alternative opportunities and strategies. As a strategy, alternatives offer investors a method to obtain the returns they require and break the paradigm of the 60/40 rule, however not all alternatives are the same nor do they come without certain risks. Participants and delegates of this alternative investment conference will investigate a range of critical investment issues, including discussion of the risks and benefits of various asset classes and investment vehicles such as hedge funds and private equity, examining means of cutting costs associated with implementation of absolute returns strategies, reviewing the future of commodities and surveying the landscape of emerging international markets.
