Cannabis Conference Explained
A cannabis conference is an event that brings together entrepreneurs from different sectors of the cannabis industry to discuss changing regulations, explore the future of the cannabis market, and showcase the latest cannabis products and accessories.
The Cannabis Convention Experience
The Smoke Drop team attends several cannabis events throughout the year, so we know exactly what to expect at these conferences.
While every event is different, one commonality they all share is the excitement felt among the attendees.
From networking with other business, to discovering new products to sell, the excitement stems from the opportunity to connect and learn from cannabis industry leaders.
You’ll find many young entrepreneurs at these conferences who are looking for ways to leverage their business skills in a market exploding with growth.
Should I attend a cannabis event?
If you’re a retailer looking to add products to a physical or online store, you’ll get a lot out of attending a cannabis event.
The same goes for brands and manufacturers with inventory for retailers.
Aside from just products, you’ll find a wide array of tools and services that fulfill the needs of both retailers and suppliers, from banking partners to online marketplaces like Smoke Drop.
Even if you don’t own a cannabis company, you should consider attending a cannabis event if you plan on working in the industry.
It’s a great opportunity to build a network of contacts while staying informed about financial requirements, regulations, and much more.
Is a cannabis event different from a CBD event?
In most cases, your typical cannabis event will also focus on CBD as well.
Be sure to check the event description before purchasing a ticket to a cannabis event.
Our list will include both cannabis and CBD events you can attend, as well as events that cover both.
Where do cannabis events usually take place?
Cannabis events are held throughout the country.
Since the recent COVID-19 pandemic, some conferences have shifted to online events instead of meeting in-person.
Hybrid events that are a mix of online and in-person are becoming popular as well.
However, certain regions remain the most popular for hosting a cannabis event.
States with close ties to the history of legalization are very popular, like California and Colorado.
A lot of events in the cannabis industries are held in popular conference cities like Las Vegas and New York City as well.
When states are preparing for legalization or recently legalized cannabis, many event organizers will choose those states to host their conference.
That’s why you’ll find a number of events in New Mexico this year.
Lastly, many events offer some form of online-only viewing, so even if you can’t attend in person it’s work checking if an online option is available.
