NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ROTH Capital Partners (ROTH), www.roth.com,

companies and their investors, will host its 29th Annual Growth Stock

Carlton Drive, Dana Point, Calif.

One of the largest of its kind, ROTH’s flagship three-day investment

private companies and approximately 1,000 investors. The event provides
attendees with investment ideas across a variety of sectors, including

presentations, Q&A sessions, panels and management one-on-one meetings

sector.

“This is our flagship conference, and we look forward to this event each
year,” said Byron Roth, CEO of ROTH. “We believe that our conferences
provide participants with a unique opportunity to gain insight into
emerging growth companies across a variety of sectors, while also
socializing and enjoying themselves in a beautiful setting. For over 28
years, ROTH has served as a trusted partner and advisor to our clients,
and we intend to continue on the forefront of identifying opportunities
for their benefit. We are particularly excited about the Social Sunday
events this year, featuring physical activities (bike, spin, golf, and
tennis) to support The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), http://www.challengedathletes.org.
These events will help raise money to fund grants for physically
challenged athletes so they can participate in the sports that they
love. Over the past five years, ROTH has raised over $730,000 to help
support CAF.”

Following the Sunday activities, Michael Abbott, Executive Chairman of
Columbia Care, LLC, and Rosemary Mazanet, M.D. PhD, member of the
Scientific Advisory Board of Columbia Care, LLC will make a presentation
on the potential benefits from the “Medical Uses for Marijuana,”
which has been legalized in many states in the US. This presentation
will include a discussion of the current uses and a preview of how the
product may be utilized in the future. This will be followed by a
keynote presentation featuring Dr. Arthur B. Laffer, Founder and
Chairman of Laffer Associates – “The US Economy under the Trump
