Alex Rogers is a businessman and prominent cannabis law reform activist from Ashland. He is CEO of Ashland Alternative Health, and Northwest Alternative Health, medical cannabis clinics that help register patients with the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program. Rogers started the Oregon Medical Marijuana Business Conference (OMMBC), the first medical marijuana business conference of its kind which sold out venues in both Ashland and Eugene. Following the success of the OMMBC, Rogers started organizing the first International Cannabis Business Conference (ICBC), a unique event bringing in activists and entrepreneurs from across the globe.

The ICBC's goal is to not only provide education and networking opportunities for those in the cannabis industry, but also further mainstream the global cannabis industry. The first ICBC will be held on September 13th and 14th in Portland, Oregon, a city widely known for its acceptance of the cannabis industry. Further, Oregon is poised to legalize cannabis commerce in 2014.
