ALEX ROGERS<br />
INTERNATIONAL CANNABIS BUSINESS CONFERENCE<br />
Visionary entrepreneur and political activist, Alex Rogers, is the founder and CEO of three thriving<br />
ancillary cannabis businesses. Cutting his teeth as an activist in the early nineties under the tutelage<br />
of Jack Herer, Alex has a deep proprietary knowledge of the industry. He has played a key role in<br />
professionalizing and mainstreaming the cannabis industry, building one of Oregon’s most popular<br />
medical marijuana clinics in a matter of a few years, and the first ever to advertise medical marijuana on<br />
network TV in America. He also founded and runs the Oregon Marijuana Business Conference (OMBC),<br />
the state’s biggest and longest running cannabis business conference. Living in five different countries<br />
throughout his life, and able to communicate in all respective languages, Alex considers himself an<br />
international citizen, thusly spawning his latest creation, the International Cannabis Business Conference<br />
(ICBC). The ICBC is the first and only cannabis business conference in the world to have multiple dates<br />
set in multiple different countries. A Magna Cum Laude graduate in Political Science, he has used his<br />
knowledge of law and politics to push cannabis policy forward all over the world.<br />
As official sponsors of ICBC, IRIE Magazine was on hand to hear Lieutenant Governor of California,<br />
Gavin Newsom, deliver a compelling speech at the VIP Reception which also included appearances by<br />
cultural rock icon, Henry Rollins, the 4-time NBA champ, John Salley, as well as the world renowned,<br />
Tommy Chong. The conference itself kicked off with an amazingly impassioned speech by keynote<br />
Henry Rollins, who doesn’t use cannabis himself but said “if I ever wanted to use it I would like it to<br />
be legal so I could obtain it”. Look for a full in-depth coverage of the ICBC San Francisco 2017, with<br />
Alex Rogers on the cover of our inaugural release of the Spring Edition of IRIE GUIDE... March 30, 2017!<br />
