COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – With beginnings in 2014 in Windsor, Colorado, near Fort Collins, the Northern Colorado Hemp Expo, or NoCo Hemp Expo, has grown to become an internationally recognized event.

NoCo9’s Theme: Stewardship, Sustainability, Sovereignty
The Broadmoor’s commitment to the environment ties in well with the theme of the 9th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo: Stewardship, Sustainability, Sovereignty.
“’The Earth is what we all have in common.’ That’s what farmer-philosopher Wendell Berry said. The hemp industry, like many others, took a hit over the past few years, given the climate with Covid and oversupply of CBD biomass. However, as we move past these issues, we are optimistic about a positive rebound and upward trend, and the diversification of hemp’s usage into multiple industries as we move forward into 2023, 2024 and beyond,” said Morris Beegle, President of We Are for Better Alternatives (WAFBA) and Producer of NoCo Hemp Expo.
“We are eager for an industry reset and a much-needed gathering of hemp leaders from around the world at our next NoCo Hemp Expo. The Broadmoor is a perfect place to host an international convention, elevate the hemp conversation, and attract larger businesses and corporations that should be considering hemp as part of their overall ingredient/input material and part of their ESG program moving forward into the next decade,” Beegle added.
The World of Hemp Under One Roof
Exhibits at NoCo9 will highlight the latest innovations in hemp, including the many product uses for CBD and other cannabinoids, hemp fiber in fashion and industry, hemp building materials, hemp paper and bio-composite plastics, food, oil and animal feed from hemp seed and more. The event also features a comprehensive educational program featuring a diverse lineup of expert speakers and topic material. “NoCo Hemp Expo is the one-stop gathering place for farmers, producers, manufacturers, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors and all others involved in or interested in the business of hemp,” said Beegle.
In addition, NoCo Hemp Expo is thrilled to host its 2nd Annual WAFBA Awards of Excellence Dinner, recognizing top leaders, innovators, educators, policymakers and advocates in the field, along with other networking events throughout the week.
NoCo9’s educational program will highlight investment and finance, science, technology and innovation, industry and consumer trends, regulatory news, BIPOC and diversity in the hemp industry, advances and best practices in sustainable agriculture, and more.
Applications are open now to exhibit, sponsor and speak at the 9th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo. Visit www.NoCoHempExpo.com.
