Ignite: Ohio Valley Market Spotlight

April 30, 2026

Foley Hoag is proud to sponsor Ignite: Ohio Valley Market Spotlight, featuring Partner and Co-Chair of our Cannabis & Hemp Practice, Michael McQueeny on the panel "Federal Noise or Real Opportunity? What Disciplined Operators Do Before It's Obvious", where he is joined by AnnaRae Grabstein of Wolf Meyer, Richie Proud of iAnthus, Neil Prasad of CBIZ, and Howard Lee of SoRSE Technology. This panel explores how savvy cannabis businesses are getting ahead of evolving federal policy—from rescheduling to shifting hemp regulations—by proactively strengthening compliance, tightening operations, and positioning for capital and regulatory shifts before the broader market catches up.

This one-day event brings together Ohio's leading cannabis operators and industry players. With 2026 poised to be a pivotal year for the state's evolving market, attendees will gain critical insights to navigate the opportunities ahead.
