NASHVILLE, TN (August 16, 2022) – In its return to Music City, USA, the 4th Annual Southern Hemp Expo, presented by First Citizens Bank, will include a number of new events: a smokable hemp flower garden with displays from an oft-overlooked segment of the industry, the Nashville Hemp Food & Beverage Fair + Music Festival featuring live music and hemp food and beverages, and an immersive and educational hemp game show called “not-so-high” hosted by Affektiv Games.
“The industry exploded after industrial hemp was legalized in 2018, and has since retracted and faced a variety of challenges, most related in some way to the FDA’s lack of regulatory action pertaining to cannabinoids” said Morris Beegle, Southern Hemp Expo organizer and president and founder of We Are for Better Alternatives (WAFBA). “We are optimistic about future growth and we will discuss in detail the opportunities coming down the pipe for the industry,” he added. Tickets for the expo are available now, featuring many speakers, exhibitors and opportunities to meet and mingle with industry professionals and experts.
