The 3rd Annual Latinas in Cannabis Summit returns on September 27th in Los Angeles, celebrating the leadership, creativity, and impact of Latinas in the cannabis industry. Founded by Susie Plascencia, the Summit brings together professionals, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts to share knowledge, foster community, and inspire the next generation. While the event is dedicated to honoring the contributions of Latinas, all are welcome to attend and join in this powerful gathering.
With panels, workshops, curated brand activations from Eaze, Cannabiotix, Puffco, ILGM, Dolce Packs, Embarc Dispensaries, and KANHA, and a dedicated media room capturing the stories of the day, this year’s Summit highlights the power of Latinas and their allies to shape culture, elevate the industry, and create opportunities for future women in cannabis.
Founded in 2020, Latinas in Cannabis has grown into the largest and most engaged community of Latina cannabis professionals and enthusiasts. The Summit has become the platform where these stories are told, where mentors meet mentees, and where inspiration fl ows in every corner. Attendees walk away with more than knowledge—they carry the energy and motivation to amplify their own stories and impact in the industry.
This year, the Summit promises a day that’s as dynamic as the women who lead it. Panels and workshops explore entrepreneurship, executive leadership, and balancing motherhood with professional growth, offering lessons that extend far beyond the conference room.
The Latinas Love to Grow Lounge powered by ILGM provides hands-on workshops and mentorship for home growers, while interactive experiences like the Puffco Dab Wagon and curated vendor spaces from Latina-owned and ally brands—including Dolce Packs, Embarc Dispensaries, and Cannabiotix—bring education and community to life.

At the heart of the Summit is storytelling. Every panel, workshop, and interaction highlights how Latinas are carving out unique spaces in the cannabis industry, navigating obstacles, and using their influence to uplift others. These narratives show that success isn’t just about business metrics, it’s about impact, advocacy, and creating pathways for others.
Whether through mentorship, entrepreneurship, or community initiatives, the women featured at the Summit demonstrate the power of their voices and their work. A dedicated media room ensures these stories reach beyond the walls of the venue, capturing interviews, insights, and reflections that amplify the Summit’s message. It’s a reminder that the work happening here matters not only in the moment but for the wider industry, community, and culture that Latinas continue to shape.
Susie Plascencia’s leadership is at the heart of the Summit. Founder of Latinas in Cannabis and owner of MOTA Glass, a Latina and veteran-owned glass company, Susie has been instrumental in creating spaces that empower, educate, and celebrate Latinas in cannabis. Under her guidance, the Summit has grown into more than an event—it is a movement, proving how community, culture, and courage intersect to create lasting change.
This year’s Summit is set to continue that momentum, providing inspiration and actionable insights for attendees at every stage of their careers. It’s a space where Latinas and their allies can connect, learn, and envision the future of the industry together. From education to advocacy, mentorship to celebration, the Summit reinforces that when Latinas lead, they not only succeed individually—they create spaces for others to thrive.
The 3rd Annual Latinas in Cannabis Summit is more than a conference, it’s a statement. It’s proof that when Latinas lead, they create opportunities for themselves and everyone around them. By sharing experiences, lifting communities, and carving out space for Latinas to thrive, this Summit ensures that the next generation of women in cannabis will have role models, mentors, and a community ready to support them.
