The 2nd Annual Kansas Industrial Hemp Conference included presentations on the State of Hemp in Kansas, Growing Industrial Hemp, Hemp Fiber Industries and Processing Equipment, and Outlook on the CBD Industry. Presenters included representatives from the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Kansas State University’s John C. Pair Horticulture Center, Kansas Hemp Consortium, US Hemp Growers Association, KanCanna, Hempire USA, and several other organizations.
Business Transition Conference
Plans for a 2021 conference will depend upon the evolving situation with COVID-19.
Over 70% of small to medium sized businesses in Kansas are owned by baby boomers nearing
retirement. The transition of these businesses offers major opportunities both to
those retiring and to younger entrepreneurs.
Learning how to prepare a business to sell, develop a succession plan, value a business, find the right buyer, find the right business to buy, use a business broker, acquire financing, utilize employee stock option plans, and other key information can result in a more successful business transition from both the buyer and seller perspective.
Our business transitions conference offers insights from experienced business brokers, valuators, attorneys, investors, CPAs, and Kansas SBDC Advisors. The agenda includes both general sessions and a choice of breakout tracks.
Want something different? Want something more? We will develop customized training specifically for you and your employees.

We work closely with a large network of resource partners, and we will be glad to connect you to area business training and events. Our business events calendar provides information about dozens of area activities.
