Join Cultivated and Lit Alerts on Thursday, September 24 at 12 p.m. EDT for the next installment of the New York Pivot webinar series. Cultivated's Jay Rosenthal and Lit Alert’s Rick Bashkoff will open with a look at how the roll-out unfolded and what the sales data says about its impact on the New York market. Then, a segment with Luis Vallesteros, Director, Retail ID at Metrc. Finally, a panel of operators and compliance experts — Andrew Freeman, Drew Martin, and Anne Forkutza — will get into the practical side: how they prepared, the best practices that are streamlining compliance today, and how Metrc can drive efficiency and profitability rather than just checking a regulatory box. We'll also tackle the bigger picture: what Metrc means for New York's fight against inversion and diversion, why standardized data matters for the whole market, and where the weak links in the roll-out still are — and how to fix them.
