Newsletter – March 20, 2020

Hello from the WAFBA headquarters here in Fort Collins, Colorado, remote, virtual, quasi-quarantined and in front of a screen like all of you.We were fully geared up heading into the 7th annual NoCo Hemp Expo originally scheduled for March 26-28 up until two weeks ago when the cascading effect of the Coronavirus started to hit the United States. It began for us at the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California on March 2nd when the show got postponed right as we were standing in the hotel lobby as the event was about to begin.

We Are for Better Alternatives – WAFBA – is the parent company of the NoCo Hemp Expo, Let’s Talk Hemp Media and more. Cofounders Morris Beegle and Elizabeth Knight and CFO Lori Buderus, along with the entire WAFBA team, are excited to continue to inform and unite the hemp community. They’re also working hard on upcoming innovations including a Virtual Conference & Trade Show during Earth Week (beginning April 22); the Let’s Talk Hemp @ NoCo Hemp Expo Spring 2020 Digital Magazine, powered by Honeysuckle Magazine (due out on March 26); a new Let’s Talk Hemp Podcast premiering next week; a redesigned website; e-newsletter and more. In addition, the 7th annual NoCo Hemp Expo has been rescheduled to August 6-8, 2020, at the National Western Complex in Denver, CO.
