Launch of PBC Strategy
In the fall of 2021, we launched PBC Strategy, offering advisory and consulting services to companies looking to get into the cannabis industry, and to those who are already in it and looking to scale. Through our PBC Conference we have brought together some of the most prominent organizations and influential thought leaders in payments, banking, and compliance, and, as a result, have developed a bird’s eye view of the cannabis industry landscape. PBC Strategy complements our efforts with PBC Conference to help the cannabis industry mature and we are excited to help clients from across the landscape!
If you are interested in learning more about PBC Strategy please email me directly at [email protected] for more information.

To help everyone in our PBC community stay up to date, we are now sharing articles on the latest in payments, banking, and compliance in the cannabis industry. You can find these articles listed on our PBC News page and we’ll be posting them via our PBC LinkedIn page, so be sure to follow us!
PBC Interviews
We will be launching a page for our PBC Interviews soon…stay tuned to see interviews with our PBC Conference sponsors, as they discuss their companies, services, and how they can help you.
Looking Ahead to PBC 2022
We could not be more excited for our PBC 2022 Conference on September 7-8th, once again at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. We’ll have 2 days of networking, panel sessions, keynotes, and exhibitors with the latest products and services to help your business. Our Awards Ceremony will be back again and we’re adding some additional interactive sessions where sponsors will have the opportunity to conduct a live 1:1 interview with an industry leader on a current topic, with audience participation and engagement. We are continuously applying feedback from our community to continue to make PBC Conferences fun, educational, and a place for you to do business.?
With that said, we can’t wait to see you later this year and look forward to your participation!
Thank you and happy 2022!
