As the cannabis industry has developed and matured, so too have the tradeshows, expos, and events that help fuel its continued growth and keep the community connected. Whether you’re a seasoned circuit veteran or just getting your foot in the door, deciding which shows to exhibit at or attend can seriously affect the connections and impact you make in the community. Some events are more heavily attended by cultivators and geneticists, others draw in investors and ancillary technologies, and others still are more consumer-centric; most events combine elements of all of these communities and more.
Regardless of which or how many events you attend this year, knowing all your options is key to planning your cannabis expo journey. Here’s a helpful, if not exhaustive, list of shows to know so you can make your travel arrangements for the rest of 2024:
