Hemp builders and manufacturers of industrial hemp-based building materials will be well-represented at a new conference in Denver planned for March.

The first Industrial Hemp International conference will take place March 25-27 at the Hyatt Regency Aurora-Denver Conference Center. The conference and expo is organized by Morris Beegle and the experienced team that ran the NoCo Hemp Expo for 11 years in northern Colorado.

NoCo has been described as the "hemp chamber of commerce" due to its role in bringing together industry representatives from every sector, including a strong support for hemp-based construction

 Industrial hemp experts discussed opportunities in food, feed, farming, automotive and building materials at the South Dakota grand opening of the state's first industrial hemp processing center near Madison, SD in Lake County.
