Hemp, Inc. to Sponsor 1st Annual Ascent Expo in Los Angeles, CA for the “Cultural Creatives”

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 16, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hemp, Inc. (HEMP) announced today that it is one of the major sponsors of the 1^st Annual “Cultural Creatives” Ascent Expo in Los Angeles, CA, February 27 — March 1, 2015 which will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. By assembling “Cultural Creatives” from the entertainment industry, corporate America, and mainstream media, the Ascent Expo‘s mission is to “enjoy, learn, co-create successful ventures, cooperate in facilitating commerce, and empower each other toward a higher consciousness in solving the planet’s most important social, environmental and human rights issues.”

“Hemp, Inc. is proud to continue our commitment to corporate consciousness, environmentalism, philanthropy and personal empowerment through our sponsorship of the 2015 Ascent Expo,” says Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. “This is the 1st Annual Ascent Expo and we anticipate many new innovative products and successful joint ventures. The Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana industries are definitely one of the subsets of the ‘Cultural Creatives’ movement which we will be showcasing in the ‘Hemp Zone’ at the Expo.”

According to executives with eWorld Companies, Inc. (EWRC), “The Ascent Expo will be an extravagant 3-day event of ‘Cultural Creatives’ showcasing cutting-edge, forward-thinking companies, individuals and non-profit organizations committed to the principles of positive psychology and applying these principles into everyday lives and activities, with a wide range of premium products and services.” eWorld Companies, Inc. (EWRC), the producer of the event, expects this “meeting of the creative minds” event to draw in over 400 exhibitors… with a 40-ft red carpet for interviews. The centerstage for A-list musical talent is expected to draw in thousands alone.

The extravagant event for Cultural Creatives‘ (also known as the country’s “forward-thinkers” and innovators who are globally aware, very green conscious and empowered philanthropists) primary goal is to help other business people. According to Ashkan Tabibnia, the event’s social media manager, powerful marketing strategies have been implemented to bring in tens of thousands of attendees. The expo is expected to attract over 20,000 professionals and over 400 exhibiting companies covering over 140,000 net square feet of exhibit space in the LA Convention Center.

Hemp, Inc., as one of the major sponsors, will function as the umbrella organization for theIndustrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana Consulting Company (IHMMCC) affiliates which include Dewmar International (DEWM), Liberated Energy (LIBE), Resource Ventures (REVI), Global Links (GLCO), VaporBrands International (VAPR), National Scientific Corp. (NSCT), and PPJ Enterprise (PPJE). North Cal Wood Products, Inc., purveyors of sustainable reclaimed lumber, will also be in attendance.

According to Perlowin, he plans to use the Ascent Expo to not only support the activities of these affiliates but to also initiate an exchange of ideas to form effective business relationships between and among both their own affiliates and other like-minded companies and organizations that will be in the Ascent Expo section dedicated to the new Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana industries.

The “Hemp Zone” will include, but will not be limited to, those mentioned above. As a major sponsor, Hemp, Inc. (HEMP) will also play a key role in the marketing and promotional activities leading up to the Ascent Expo including webinars and think tanks throughout the course of the event.

Perlowin will also highlight recent news and updates on Hemp, Inc.’s decortication plant in the “Hemp Zone” during the Ascent Expo. “Cultural Creatives” will get a chance to learn first-hand about the automated Temafa decortication line which will be used to process raw hemp and kenaf for the American farmers. The facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina that houses the commercial Temafa decortication line is the only one of its scale in North America.

The highly coveted commerical equipment would, according to Perlowin, take at least 2 years, minimum, to duplicate. “I am committed to the American farmers in producing a new clean green American Agricultural and Industrial Revolution from hemp and I’m looking forward to sharing this at the 1^st Annual Ascent Expo in California.”

While North Carolina has not yet legalized hemp, the company while waiting for this to occur, will process Kenaf for the automotive, oil, textile, paper and other industries. (Kenaf, or Hibiscus cannabinus which is a plant in the Malvaceae family is a substance similar to Hemp, often called “Ambari Hemp” and “Deccan Hemp”.)

“Hemp, Inc.’s (HEMP) goal is to be the leading processor of processed and raw hemp materials when it becomes legal in North Carolina,” said Perlowin. There are also plans of building a GMP compliant facility for the extraction of CBDs from hemp. Perlowin’s migration strategy of processing Kenaf first is expected to put Hemp, Inc. years ahead in the hemp processing industry.

According to company executives, shareholders will see more of Hemp, Inc.’s core business develop. As the decortication facility in North Carolina continues to progress through the end of 2014 and through the first quarter of 2015 and on, Hemp, Inc. executives are eagerly looking forward to bringing more hemp-based clean, green solutions to the American people. “We constantly strive to deliver value to our shareholders and we believe our efforts will position us to do just that over the long term.”

The synergistic expo will put Hemp, Inc. one step further to its goal. Ascentexpo.com describes the expo as “Creative Capitalism” where conscious-oriented people connect through commerce, working and living in a way that is conscious of other people, conscious of the environment and cultures, and mending those traits in everyday business practices.
