Hall of Flowers is a biannual event and the first show of its kind to deliver an experience that elevates the cannabis industry to a new level of cultural significance, and brings together the most innovative brands, retailers and industry insiders to incubate the future of cannabis brands.

Since that time, Cowen has led the financial services industry in its publication of in-depth research and hosting of content-driven industry events aimed at understanding the wide-ranging opportunities and implications presented by the cannabis industry.
