NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Viridian Capital Advisors, a financial and strategic advisory firm dedicated to the cannabis marketplace, is pleased to announce the launch of a series of investor events. Entitled Investing in the Emerging Cannabis Industry While Managing Risk, these invite-only events will explore the opportunities and risks in this growing multi-billion-dollar industry as well as provide perspective and guidance on the pertinent questions that investors should ask when considering investing in this emerging market. For more information on these events, go to https://viridianca.com/upcomingevents/
The kickoff investor symposium will be held on January 13, 2016 at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice , an international leader in educating for justice. The college brings together Pulitzer Prize winning faculty and undergraduate/graduate students in diverse liberal arts disciplines to engage with issues of justice and diversity. The John Jay College of Criminal Justice is located on 59th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues, southwest of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
This event follows the Viridian Capital Advisors Cannabis Investor Conference held in June of this year, which welcomed nearly 400 investors to the first-ever cannabis investor conference held in New York City.
"The legal cannabis industry is not just a social movement but also a business and financial revolution. Approximately $2.7 billion of cannabis was sold legally in 2014, and there are currently more than 250 public cannabis companies trading on various markets worldwide," said Scott Greiper, President of Viridian Capital Advisors. "With this opportunity, however, come risks that are particular to the nature of the cannabis industry. These conferences will provide qualified investors and industry leaders with a platform to identify investment opportunities in the sector while properly managing business and personal risk."
