About the Conference
The Cannabis Cultivation & Science Conference, hosted by KiS Organics, takes a different approach from typical cannabis events. Held at an active cultivation facility in Bozeman, Montana, it offers immersive, hands-on programming focused on living-soil cultivation and science-driven growing practices.
The 2026 conference runs August 28–30, 2026 at Collective Elevation, a working cultivation facility. The format mixes classroom-style sessions with direct observation and hands-on workshops in the grow rooms.
Programming Focus
- Living soil cultivation: Microbial inoculants, compost teas, and regenerative practices
- Plant nutrition: Mineral availability, soil chemistry, and feeding protocols
- Integrated pest management: Biological controls and prevention strategies
- Environmental controls: Climate, lighting, and watering optimization
- Hands-on workshops: Direct interaction with plants and growing systems
The Living Soil Movement
Living soil cannabis cultivation has emerged as a counter-movement to highly controlled, hydroponic, chemically-fed indoor growing. Practitioners argue that biologically active soil produces superior cannabis with more complex terpene profiles and better expression of genetic potential. Events like this one are central to spreading those techniques.
Who Should Attend
- Commercial cultivators looking to improve quality through soil science
- Craft growers committed to organic and regenerative practices
- Cultivation managers responsible for crop quality
- Anyone interested in the science behind premium cannabis cultivation
