WICE Woman in Cannabis

Woman In Cannabis Expo & Awards 2022 San Francisco, Las Vegas & Denver

Aligned with the ethos of “Let’s connect, inspire, and learn together,” the Women In Cannabis Expo (WICE) serves as a hub for networking among women in the cannabis industry.

The WICE Awards honor contributions made by women within the cannabis sector. Among these accolades, the Crystal WICE Awards stand as the pinnacle achievement. Alongside these, the mid-tier Plaque WICE Awards are determined through a combination of online voting and panel evaluations. The Recognition WICE Awards, which are crafted by the same artisans who produce awards for Miss America, are presented both individually and to esteemed participants of WICE panel discussions.
