What do the cannabis industry and the flavor industry have in common? Both are found in the baked goods, confectionery and beverage categories; both abide by rapidly evolving regulations, and both are segmented industries rooted in innovation, creativity and all around deliciousness.
In 2015, legal cannabis in the United States reached $5.4 billion and edibles made up at least half of that total. For the first time, Flavorcon will be host a cannabis panel featuring several speakers including Franklin Bioscience's Jon Fernandez, senior vice president of corporate sales and Sean Arnold, senior vice president, product development.
