Today’s executives face the challenges of integrating technology, employees, customers, and communications amid rapidly changing societal and business trends. The HempToday Executive Roundtable series provides expert perspectives that can help you meet those challenges to drive your organization’s strategy and growth in the fast-paced hemp industry.
Join us Weekday, April 00, 2022 to meet Carl Martel, of the Advanced Botanical and Biomass Research Institute. Carl can cover a wide, wide range of subjects including but not limited to hemp processing technology, whole plant utilization, value-added products from plant biomass and waste. Carl has been looking intensely into hemp and its potential in carbon-based applications such as batteries, and carbon sequestration.

Sharing knowledge & solutions
The HempToday Executive Roundtable gives you access to leading executives in an intimate, relaxed format that encourages interaction among participants, who have the opportunity to get their specific questions answered by the featured guest, and benefit from the combined knowledge of other participants. Participants are selected and sessions are curated and moderated by Kehrt Reyher, editor & publisher of HempToday.
Connect to build the industry
We structure participation among corporate leaders who have non-competing and potentially complementary business interests in a connect-to-build strategy that defines our mission for the industry. We facilitate the discussion and follow-up communication among participants to share insights into industry trends, develop strategies for growth and profitability, and identify promising opportunities. Our sessions are designed to foster partnerships and other business relationships while generally promoting investment in the hemp sectors.
