About the CQC
The Cannabis Quality Conference & Expo (CQC) is an educational and networking event for cannabis safety and quality solutions. Serving the Midwest market with a unique focus on science, technology and compliance, the CQC enables attendees to engage in conversations that are critical for advancing careers and organizations alike. Visit with exhibitors to learn about cutting-edge solutions, explore three high-level educational tracks for learning valuable industry trends, and network with industry executives to find solutions to improve quality, efficiency and cost effectiveness in a quickly evolving cannabis marketplace.
Co-Located with the Food Safety Consortium
Sharing an exhibit hall and meeting spaces right alongside the Food Safety Consortium, the Cannabis Quality Conference allows cannabis professionals to interact with senior level food quality and safety professionals, as well as regulators. No other event has the advantage of crossover attendance from a co-located Food Safety Conference & Exhibition.
Three Highly Focused Tracks
Hosted at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center in Schaumburg, Illinois (just outside of Chicago), the 2019 event will continue with three educational tracks: Cannabis Labs, Cannabis Quality and Cannabis Business Operations, Licensing & Legal Issues. Visit with exhibitors to learn about cutting-edge solutions, explore three high-level educational tracks for learning valuable industry trends, and network with industry executives to find solutions to improve quality, efficiency and cost effectiveness in a quickly evolving cannabis marketplace.
Unparalleled Midwest Market Access
With the cannabis industry in the Midwest growing at a rapid pace, the CQC offers attendees, exhibitors and sponsors unparalleled access to explore these emerging markets, their regulations, opportunities for business growth and best practices from more established markets.
