“It’s a great group and each meeting I find someone I’m excited to connect with.”

“The more I engage with this community the more I realize how valuable it is to be part of this community.”

The RSPA Cannabis Community helps members meet and network with others interested in the cannabis vertical, helps members learn from each other’s experiences and insights, and fosters business development opportunities for RSPA members, all in a vendor-neutral atmosphere.

Among the topics discussed during our community meetings are establishing partnerships (with vendors, VARs, ISVs, distributors, cannabis MSPs), the cannabis technology stack, the cannabis software landscape, compliance, new regulations, emerging opportunities, and market-specific challenges for VARs and ISVs.

The RSPA Cannabis Community is home to many of the top organizations in retail cannatech. The RSPA and 11 of our member companies are listed among the Leading CannaTech Influencers by The CannaTech Group.

Because the RSPA is North America’s largest community of VARs, software developers, vendors, and distributors in the retail, restaurant, grocery, and cannabis verticals, the association is strongly positioned to meet the needs of IT solution providers who serve cannabis dispensaries. The RSPA is at the forefront of educating the point of sale industry about the cannabis vertical:
