Best Western Roundhouse Suites

(Directly after Natural Products Expo East & BioFach America.)
We have arranged for special room rates for Sunday and Monday nights at the Best Western Roundhouse Suites. The hotel is also offering special room rates for Natural Products Expo East attendees (as a separate arrangement with different rates and dates), so if you are attending or exhibiting at the Expo, you can conveniently stay there for both events.

Monday, October 20: Annual General Meeting, awards dinner (included in registration fee), fundraiser, hemp exhibits, sales, networking, expert speakers on hemp markets in various countries, nutrition studies, PR strategies and legal & legislative issues.
This schedule is preliminary and subject to change as plans develop.
