Top Cannabis Conventions in 2023

2023 will be a busy year for conferences and events in the cannabis world. These fun and informative events are a great way to learn more about all aspects of the cannabis industry. As more states open their doors to booming markets, cannabis conventions represent a sizable opportunity for businesses. They are essential to learning more about the industry while also being an excellent opportunity to network, meet other suppliers, and build relationships.

The entire supply chain for cannabis, including cultivation, distribution, packaging, marketing, business services, sales, and everything in between, is covered at cannabis conferences. As a result, it’s the ideal setting for conducting business and networking. One of the best ways to network at a cannabis convention is to participate in an exhibit. All you need is a rental booth, and of course, something worthwhile to present. Even if you’re not quite ready to take on the experience of exhibiting at a cannabis expo, attending as a guest will be very much worth your while.

As you plan for your upcoming business year, consider penciling in one of these excellent cannabis conventions!
