Because of this, our human experiences and memorable moments are documented more easily and are quickly shared. We'll discuss the benefits of utilizing a ‘visual magnet’ in our evolving décor landscape and how attractive this is to social media. This artful and engaging CEU will also focus on key lessons for successful marketing moments.

With its emergence from the shadows of the law, it's getting a total makeover. No area of Cannabis culture has seen (or needed) a bigger change than the interiors of dispensaries. Traditionally, they have been non-designed with a low profile. Now, get ready for chic retail lounges that are supported by a multi-billion-dollar industry. This class explores the best practices and considerations when designing today’s modern dispensary.
