U.S. entrepreneur, reps from 9 countries at Hemp2020 Summit

Eric McKee

American hemp entrepreneur Eric McKee will share his experiences as an eco-entrepreneur at this year’s Hemp2020 Business Summit Oct. 19-20 at HempToday Center in Poland.

McKee’s company, Colorado-based Windr LLC, specializes in hemp based solutions to combat global problems, and has worked in Haiti demonstrating hemp’s potential for humanitarian purposes at the Wynne Farm Nature Reserve. A U.S. Marine veteran, McKee later worked for major brands in the outdoor/ski sector where he discovered hemp’s disruptive potential in the plastics industry. He oversaw construction of the first fully permitted hempcrete structure in Denver, Colorado in 2017.

So far: Reps from 9 countries

Representatives from nine countries have so far confirmed attendance at the third annual Hemp: 2020 Summit: Poland, Germany, USA, Haiti, Nepal, Latvia, Lithuania, Ireland and the Czech Republic.
