Andrew Kline

Andrew Kline, Director of Public Policy for the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA), has been named keynote speaker for the first-ever Cannabis Packaging Summit. In addition to extensive experience working on behalf of the legal cannabis industry, Kline’s impressive professional background includes oversight and advisory roles in the FCC and the Obama Administration, as well as a stint as an Assistant U.S. Attorney.

Titled De-scheduling Cannabis: The Road Ahead, Kline’s address will summarize the industry’s legislative efforts on Capitol Hill, detail the NCIA’s work developing public policy on environmental sustainability and other concerns facing the cannabis sector, and discuss the future regulatory environment for cannabis stakeholders.

Scheduled for February 11 and 12, 2020 at the Anaheim Convention Center, in Anaheim, CA, the Cannabis Packaging Summit is a combined educational and networking event focused on academic research, industry best practices, and regulatory perspectives on the safe, effective packaging of cannabis-based products. The show will premiere adjacent to WestPack, North America’s premier packaging technology event organized by Informa Markets.

As NCIA’s Director of Public Policy, Kline spearheads the organization’s efforts to prepare and protect the state-legal cannabis industry. This includes leading the Policy Council, a group of NCIA members focused on influencing federal and state public policy. Prior to joining NCIA, Kline served as President of the National Association of Cannabis Businesses (NACB), the cannabis industry’s first self-regulatory organization, where he led the creation of national standards for the state-legal cannabis industry, oversaw its standards governance board, and directed strategic planning initiatives.  

Earlier in his career, Kline served as Special Counsel for the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Enforcement Bureau, as well as Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor for Intellectual Property Enforcement in the Executive Office of the President during the Obama administration. A former Assistant U.S. Attorney, he is admitted to the California, Colorado, and District of Columbia bars, and holds a master’s degree in Public Administration from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.
