Kannaway Hosts Successful Hemp for Humanity Event in Vienna

As hemp-based CBD grows in popularity in Europe, Kannaway hosts hemp event in Austria to educate business owners, government officials, and the media on the benefits of hemp for the planet and its people.

Medical Marijuana, Inc. subsidiary Kannaway hosted the Hemp for Humanity 2019 event last month in Vienna. The Hemp for Humanity event was held on March 9th to drive interest behind hemp oil products like those from Kannaway in the European Union market.

Kannaway officially launched in the European market with its grand opening event held in Prague last fall, following more than a year of effort to begin operations in the EU. Through a series of events hosted across Europe, including the recent Hemp for Humanity, the company has continued to promote the opportunities presented by hemp.

The day before the Hemp for humanity event, Kannaway hosted an exclusive Leadership Training Session for the company’s top brand ambassadors. An invitation only opportunity, this training session gave these top performing ambassadors the tools and best practices they need when working their Kannaway business, learning from those who know Kannaway best.

The event kicked off the next day with live reggae music to get everybody into the spirit of the day before getting down to the business at hand. The day’s first sessions focused on the role of hemp in industry, hemp’s complicated history, and new innovation in hemp cultivation and its derived products.

First, the CEO of Kannaway Blake Schroeder walked the company’s brand ambassadors, guests, and other attendees through Kannaway’s immense achievements over the past few years and the company’s role as an industry pioneer and leader.
