With the passing of The 2018 Farm Bill and the subsequent signing of House Bill 1325, hemp and all its byproducts are becoming the subjects that have taken over the discussion of many relevant topics of Texas agriculture. The plant’s infinite uses and mostly optimal climate conditions within the state for growing the crop has resulted in support from nearly all the representatives in Texas government, with only three representatives voting against House Bill 1325.
And with the influx of hemp interest comes several over encompassing events are consistently being hosted across the Lone Star State tailored towards those either interested in the hemp industry, those directly involved already as well as simple consumers wanting to receive further education on CBD. Those very events are the ones that Daulton O’Neill has been advocating for and creating for quite a few years now. Events where those wanting to make a living off the new avenue for revenue in the backbone agricultural industry of Texas can network and collaborate with their fellow business owners shows promise and could provide a great amount of potential strength to the industry and its several unique businesses in the industry. As the first possible planting season for hemp production is Texas is becoming closer and will undoubtedly result in some agriculture professionals switching their crops yet still possessing questions regarding the business side of the crop, O’Neill and Green Light Event’s newest endeavor will be entitled Hemp Business Exchange.
Happening on February 6, 2020 in Uptown’s business creation and presentation-oriented Capital Factory, the event is taking a much more precise, business-focused look into the specific regulatory frameworks and the sometimes complicated legal compliance practices that without exception will be important toward the operation of any hemp-based business.
“Hemp Business Exchange came into creation because we were looking to serve a new market of people on what’s really relevant right now. With the hemp licenses about to be released, there’s a lot of hemp business.” details O’Neill.
As the topics discussed are of absolute importance towards anyone currently employed by or hoping to work in the industrial hemp industry, Green Light Events wanted to provide insight and a discussion with a brilliant individual who understands those occasionally convoluted and hard to interpret regulations and laws to a tee. To stay true to their word, O’Neill booked a keynote speaker in the form of name partner of business and copyright attorney focusing in hemp/CBD compliance and regulation, Chelsie Spencer. A powerhouse attorney that almost anyone involved in CBD in the DFW will be familiar with, Spencer will be discussing the legal possibilities and stipulations that come with House Bill 1325 and the laws and regulations that hemp businesses absolutely must abide by.
“I expect them to have exponential growth and expedite their search in hemp. If you’re new to the industry and you don’t have colleagues or friends that are business owners, this will be a good place to meet them.” informed O’Neill. “If you’re a business owner and you’re already a business owner and you’re already established, you could meet people to hire or potential investors.”
Events where those wanting to make a living off the new avenue for revenue in the backbone agricultural industry of Texas can network and collaborate with their fellow business owners shows promise and could provide a great amount of potential strength to the industry and its several unique businesses in the industry. And luckily, O’Neill’s implementation of Green Light Events-created programs based on a specific aspect of hemp cultivation will likely continue beyond Dallas-Fort Worth.
“We’re looking towards branding events towards different micro-communities in the hemp industry. The event concept (Hemp Business Exchange) is built to do again and duplicate in different areas and we strategically are branding it to where we can take it anywhere, beyond Dallas or Houston.” O’Neill forecasts.
