Blank Rome partner Scott H. Moskol will serve as a panelist at PBC Conference 2026, being held September 9 through 10, 2026, in Washington, D.C.

About the Conference

PBC Conference brings together the cannabis banking ecosystem, with a focus on payments, banking, and compliance (“PBC”). This conference was created for the private sector and the government to work together to solve PBC challenges in the cannabis industry. We strongly feel that these are the cornerstones with which the cannabis industry can explode in growth.
