Optimizing Your Cash Handling through Automation, Analytics & Reporting
Shawn Kruger, SVP, Product & Strategy, Avivatech

Shawn Kruger will share how developing a cash automation strategy saves time and costs, ensuring the security and visibility of cash inventory in/across dispensaries, delivery operations and/or cultivation centers. As an industry with limited access to traditional banking accounts, a cash automation strategy supports the business’ goals in ensuring all cash is secure and accounted for, provides the insights needed for all back-office operations to reduce risk and losses due to human error or theft, and verifies procedural compliance at every location.

Events across the globe have been postponed or canceled due to the coronavirus. COVID-19 is taking down many industries and leaving hundreds of thousands of people without jobs. At Innovative Publishing Company, our top priority is safety. In light of the recent travel restrictions and our concern over attendees’ safety, we have made the decision to convert our Cannabis Labs/Food Labs Conference to a virtual event. The event will no longer take place June 3–4. Instead, we are in the process of reorganizing the agenda to give our attendees the full benefit of sessions over a period of June 1–5. Recognizing the strain on the industry, this event will be free to attendees and underwritten by our sponsors. Check back soon here as we update the website and announce the new agenda for the virtual program. We look forward to seeing everyone virtually there.

Additionally, the Cannabis Quality Conference & Expo remains scheduled for October 21–23, 2020, however the Food Safety Consortium will now be postponed to December 2–4, 2020. More information on that can be found on Food Safety Tech. Innovative Publishing has developed a contingency plan in the event that COVID-19 continues to be a serious health concern throughout the fall season. This is very possible and we take these health concerns very seriously. That plan includes converting the conference to a virtual event, similar to our Cannabis Labs/Food Labs Conference.
