SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- New West
Summit 2019 (NWS5) THE Cannabis Tech Conference (October 10-11, 2019) is pleased to announce
keynote speaker Michael Render,
p.k.a. Killer Mike. Killer Mike joins Alicia Silverstone as part of an impressive
roster of NWS alumni keynotes including Sir Richard Branson, George
Clinton, and Ricki Lake.
Michael Render, publicly known as
Killer Mike, is a husband, father, activist, businessman and GRAMMY
Award-winning artist. He is as synonymous with Atlanta as the iconic brands, Coca-Cola and
The Varsity. Render, who is deeply connected to his community, made
a name for himself as an activist well before he ever recorded a
single song. For the past two years, he's held back-to-school
events offering free haircuts, braids, and school supplies for
Atlanta children. His 2018
back-to-school event was held over multiple weekends in July and
August and served over 250 children and youth.
"We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome Killer Mike as a
keynote for this year's Summit," said Jim
McAlpine, founder of New West Summit. "Mike is an all-around
awesome human being, and serves as an example of what we should all
strive to be. He is a successful businessman, activist,
philanthropist and a hero to many, including myself."
NWS Platinum Sponsors include MediaJel and Wes Martin Cannabis.
MediaJel is this year's NWS exclusive media partner and host of the
official VIP Kickoff Party, to be held the evening of Thursday, October 10, 2019.
"The MediaJel and New West Summit teams have been collaborating
throughout the year to bring attendees a highly curated and
memorable experience," said Aaron
Silverman, President and co-founder of MediaJel. "We are so
excited to partner with this team and to be engaging with advocates
