Bootleg Avocado LLC Launches Event Series Around Food & Cannabis in NYC

New York, NY, February 15, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Bootleg Avocado LLC has announced a new event
series focused on the interplay of food and cannabis. The inaugural event, "Bootleg Avocado Presents -
State of the Union: Culinary + Cannabis," takes place Thursday evening, February 27, in New York City.

One of the first events of its kind in New York, State of the Union: Culinary + Cannabis will bring
together food and cannabis professionals, who can network and learn from business owners who have
already brought premium, canna-friendly products to market. The program includes an introduction to the
current state of the industry presented by Bootleg Avocado owner, Mario A. Rodriguez. A panel
discussion will follow featuring: Scott Jennings- Co-founder & CEO, Pantry; Rachel King- Chief
Development Officer, Kaneh Co.; Serafina Palandech, Co-founder & CEO, A Boring Life; David
Yusefzadeh- Founder & CEO, Cloud Creamery; and Kaelan Castetter- CEO, Castetter Sustainability
Group. The panel will discuss topics including how they have scaled their businesses, where they have
found success and how they are positioning their companies for future growth.

After the panel, attendees can network while they enjoy tastings from local CBD-infused food brands and
drinks from Castetter Sustainability Group, which will be pouring their latest hemp-infused wines.

"Our mission is to bring together both industries and help facilitate partnerships, products and services
that are sustainable and plant-based with an emphasis on high culinary and wellness," says Rodriguez.
"The companies showcased on the first panel check all those boxes. We are also trying to educate food
professionals that are jumping into the cannabis space and vice-versa. On a personal note, I want NYC (or
the Tri-state area) to be the hub of what's happening in food and cannabis 2.0. After all, we are the food
capital of the world with a ton of talented underground chefs."
