From Plans to Production: Effective Cannabis Project Execution

A successful facility design establishes the foundation, but getting a facility built and operational requires effective execution. Once a project moves into construction, owners and operators must coordinate contractors, vendors, equipment, schedules, budgets, and internal teams while navigating the challenges and changes that inevitably arise along the way. Success depends on clear ownership, effective communication, and the ability to make decisions and pivot quickly when conditions change. As the second half of this two-part series, this session picks up where planning and design leave off. This seasoned team will share practical approaches and strategies for what it actually takes to get a cultivation facility across the finish line, from project management and stakeholder communication to problem-solving, system integration, commissioning, and startup. Drawing from real-world project experience, attendees will learn how to keep teams aligned, communicate effectively, adapt when challenges arise, and successfully move a facility from design to Day One operations.
