A practical workshop with Dutchie, Cure8, Forte Operations, and a Minnesota CPAAbout this Event
Hands-on guidance for Minnesota licensees and applicants. Learn how to connect retail tech, secure infrastructure, and standard operating procedures with accounting controls that support seed-to-sale compliance. Live demos, practical checklists, and time to network with peers.
Minnesota operators need clear steps for running compliant, efficient businesses from day one. This session focuses on the parts you control every day.

• Inventory flows that reduce variances between POS and your internal records
• IT, cameras, and device setups that support accurate reporting and smooth audits
