Explore iComply’s 2024 achievements in cannabis compliance & 2025 plans. From driving social equity initiatives to expanding our reach globally, 2024 has been a year of transformation and growth for the cannabis compliance industry. Here’s a look at our journey over the past year and our vision for the future.
2024: A Year of Growth, Impact, and Industry Leadership
Expanding Social Equity Impact
This year, iComply took significant steps toward fostering equity and inclusion within the cannabis industry. Our work with the City of Denver’s Social Equity Technical Assistance Program (SETAP) was a milestone in supporting social equity applicants. By providing essential resources and guidance, we empowered hundreds of operators in Colorado to navigate the complex regulatory landscape. Additionally, our nationwide outreach efforts and policy work continued to expand opportunities for those historically impacted by cannabis prohibition.
Growing National and International Reach
As the cannabis industry evolves, so does our commitment to supporting operators across the globe. In 2024, we extended our compliance, licensing, and regulatory services to new U.S. states while expanding our influence internationally. From consulting in Puerto Rico’s cannabis program to advising on emerging global markets, iComply has been at the forefront of shaping cannabis regulation and fostering responsible industry growth.
Leading Through Education and Advocacy
As a thought leader in cannabis compliance, iComply hosted webinars, participated in industry panels, and contributed to key policy discussions throughout the year. Our founder, Mark Slaugh, played a pivotal role on national committees and workgroups, advancing regulatory frameworks and social equity initiatives. These efforts reinforced our position as a trusted voice in the industry, shaping the discourse on compliance and policy.
Strengthening Partnerships
Collaborating with organizations such as MCBA, BIPOCANN, Sapphire Risk Management, Allay Consulting, and Simplifya has been integral to our success. These partnerships allowed us to deliver comprehensive resources and support to cannabis businesses, amplifying our impact and advancing our mission.
2025: What to Expect
Expanding Interstate Commerce
With momentum building for federal cannabis legalization, 2025 could be the year interstate commerce gains traction through rescheduling. iComply is prepared to guide operators through the complexities of cross-border trade, including FDA regulations, international trade standards, and CFR-21 compliance.
Enhancing Technology Solutions
In 2025, we’ll continue investing in cutting-edge tools to help operators streamline compliance. From management systems to trade platforms, our solutions are designed to empower businesses with efficiency, accuracy, and confidence.
Advancing Social Equity Initiatives
Building on our achievements in Denver, we aim to expand support for social equity applicants. By partnering with jurisdictions and stakeholders, we’ll work to ensure that those affected by the War on Drugs have access to the tools and resources they need to succeed.
Growing Global Influence
With more countries moving toward legalization, iComply plans to extend its consulting and compliance services to new international markets. Our goal is to shape global cannabis regulation, promote responsible practices, and advocate for the industry’s sustainable growth.
Addressing Industry Challenges
Despite progress, many cannabis companies continue to face financial hurdles due to high operational costs and regulatory complexity. As businesses navigate these challenges, iComply’s expertise in compliance management and operational efficiency will be critical. From reducing compliance costs to supporting investor relations through transparency and due diligence, we are dedicated to helping the industry thrive.
Looking Ahead
As we close 2024, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our clients, partners, and supporters. Your trust and collaboration have been the foundation of our success. We’re excited to build on this momentum and continue driving innovation and progress in the cannabis industry in 2025 and beyond.
