Y Scouts Team Attends Largest Cannabis Conference in North America

(Oct. 18, 2021) Y Scouts, a retained executive search firm serving high-growth health & wellness, cannabis, and SaaS companies, attended MJBizCon in Las Vegas, Nevada last week. The award-winning show showcases over 250,000 square feet of exhibits, 3-day conference, pre-show forums, and over 140 speakers plus extraordinary networking and partnership-building opportunities.

During MJBizCon Y Scouts networked with high-level executives in the cannabis industry, learned more about what this industry is building, and shared Y Scouts hiring on purpose process with aligning leaders to work that matters. The Y Scouts booth cultivated meaningful relationships where we were able to be solution partners in executive search.

Cannabis sales have boosted the economy by $92 billion in 2021 alone. That statistic is up 30% from last year, and the same analysis predicts it will reach upwards of $160 billion by 2025. With all of this incredible growth, significant changes are on the horizon. Y Scouts is honored to be leadership search experts in the space and place purposeful leaders to the cannabis ecosystem.

“Y Scouts got our opportunity in cannabis about 4 years ago to work on a President role, and started to understand that our process worked really well in all these other industries, and it worked particularly well in cannabis. The industry needs great leaders and what Y Scouts process truly yields is great leadership,” Max Hansen, CEO & Co-Founder.

The Y Scouts team of subject matter experts in ‘hiring on purpose’ has shifted the national conversation around the importance of hiring candidates who connect to your company through shared values, vision, and sense of purpose. If you know someone or are hiring for executive leadership roles reach out to Y Scouts Head of Growth, Michael Jaroscak.

Y Scouts look forward to attending more cannabis conferences as we continue to hone our craft and learn relentlessly about what this industry has to offer.
