Introduction
The Cannabis Summit has set the benchmark for equality at B2B events, showcasing our dedication to leading by example and driving meaningful progress in the cannabis industry's journey towards inclusivity and respect. Through our EDI policy the Summit is taking the lead in promoting equality of opportunity and access and most importantly an environment free from harassment because we recognise the pivotal role it plays in shaping the future of the cannabis industry.
The Cannabis Summit is committed to maintaining a professional environment free from harassment and discrimination. This policy applies to all delegates, speakers, sponsors, visitors and 3rd parties at the conference and its related social events, considering these settings as extensions of the workplace.
By prioritising this important area, we aim to not only elevate the standards of conduct within the industry but also pave the way for a more equitable and thriving cannabis ecosystem going forward.
This policy adheres to the Irish Employment Equality Acts 1998-2023, the Equal Status Acts 2000-2023, and the relevant laws of the European Union. Additionally, this policy emphasizes our commitment to EDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion), ensuring that all individuals are treated fairly, valued for their unique perspectives, and included in all aspects of the event.
By proactively addressing issues of equality we are setting a precedent for other industry events and organisations to follow suit. Our commitment to fostering a culture of respect and inclusivity underscores our dedication to creating a safe and welcoming space for all participants in an environment that cherishes diversity and equality of opportunity.
The Cannabis Summit is dedicated to fostering an environment of equality, inclusivity, and respect for all participants. We firmly believe in the principles of equality of opportunity, access, and non-discrimination, and are committed to providing a space free from harassment or prejudice of any kind.
Discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favorably than another person in a similar situation based on one of the nine protected grounds (gender, civil status, family status, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, race, membership of the Traveller community)
The Cannabis Summit upholds the principle of academic freedom, recognising the importance of open inquiry and discourse in advancing knowledge and understanding within the field. We are a non-partisan collegiate body, politically neutral thus allowing for diverse perspectives to be shared and discussed.
