Elevate Health and Elevate Cannabis tracks explore how science, finance and entrepreneurship will help shape the future of the global cannabis industry
One of Canada's leading licensed producers, Aurora Cannabis, has partnered with Elevate, Canada's Tech Week, to present a stand-out roster of panel discussions and interactive sessions with innovators and pioneers in the cannabis industry.
As a gold partner of Elevate, Canada's largest tech and innovation festival, Aurora has been instrumental in shaping the Elevate Cannabis and Elevate Health tracks that will feature leading experts in research, medicine, finance and entrepreneurship in the cannabis industry.
"We are thrilled to partner with Elevate this year. This conference is about showcasing Canada as a leader in technology as well as demonstrating a diverse and inclusive society. This is precisely what Aurora stands for - innovation, community, culture," says Paula Whitmore, Director, Partnerships and Events, Aurora. "The line-up of speakers and topics demonstrates our desire to work with different industries to develop innovative solutions and products in the recreational and medical environments."
Aurora and Elevate are pleased to announce a diverse group of thought leaders throughout the Elevate Cannabis and Elevate Health tracks, including:
-- Dr. Jonathan Page: Co-founder of Anandia Laboratories Inc., a
pioneer in the cannabis field who co-led the Canadian team that
first sequenced the cannabis genome. His work has helped
discover the biochemical pathway of the major cannabinoids.

meaningful, robust research and clinical studies to generate
more evidence for the medical uses of cannabis and looking at
real-world outcomes globally.

hydroponic industry that make growing sustainable, organic
cannabis, herbs and vegetables accessible to all.

conscious brand of green beauty products with a mission to
break stigmas. In collaboration with Aurora, she'll be
