CIAO Cannabis Insiders Meeting – January 2026 (New Location)
EVERY SECOND MONDAY: CIAO CANNABIS INSIDERS MEETING
Join our monthly gathering for Oregon cannabis professionals. It’s where operators, workers, advocates, and leaders connect, build community, and get the latest CIAO briefings (policy, legislation, politics, and more)—so we can shape our industry’s future together. Every meeting can be joined in person or virtually.
NEW VENUE FOR 2026:
We’re moving to a new downtown Portland location for our in-person meetings. The space gives us more room for conversation, entertainment, and community building—and there’s a parking garage directly across the street. Both the physical address and the Zoom link will be sent to registrants.
WHO IT’S FOR:
Licensed operators and professionals working in Oregon cannabis — growers, processors, retailers, labs, service providers, and allies who are actively engaged with the industry’s day-to-day realities.
Members & Invited Guests Only — RSVP Required
Guaranteed attendance is limited to CIAO members and their invited guests.
Not a member? No problem—sign up now, join at the door, or register as a non-member for your one complimentary Insiders Meeting (no commitment)
RSVP required—this helps us coordinate food and refreshments and maintain a safe, industry-only space.
