MJBizCon is the largest and most influential B2B cannabis conference and trade show in the world, held every year at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Produced by MJBiz, the team behind MJBizDaily, the event brings together operators, investors, innovators, advocates, and policymakers from across the global cannabis supply chain. Over more than a decade, MJBizCon has evolved into the industry’s most important annual gathering—part marketplace, part educational summit, and part networking festival set against the high-energy backdrop of Las Vegas.
Attendance typically exceeds 20,000 professionals, with more than 1,000 exhibitors and hundreds of speakers from leading cannabis companies, top consulting firms, scientific organizations, and financial institutions. The show takes place every November and features multiple days of programming, including pre-conference forums, keynote sessions, and an expansive expo floor.

Inside the Expo Floor
The expo is the signature attraction of MJBizCon, spanning several halls and organized into clear, industry-specific zones. Attendees can explore the Cultivation Pavilion, Processing, Packaging & Lab Services Pavilion, Retail & Dispensary Pavilion, Marketing & Branding Zone, and an array of ancillary-services exhibits. Companies showcase cutting-edge cultivation equipment, automation solutions, terpene extraction systems, software platforms, packaging innovations, retail technologies, and compliance tools.
The show floor represents a comprehensive snapshot of the entire industry, allowing professionals to see how trends evolve, how technology advances, and where new opportunities emerge. For startups and established companies alike, it’s an environment built for comparison, discovery, and deal-making.
Conference Sessions & Education
Beyond the expo, MJBizCon offers an education lineup designed to help businesses navigate an increasingly complex and competitive market. Speakers cover topics such as capital raising, supply chain efficiency, multistate expansion, product formulation, regulatory updates, brand strategy, international markets, and the future of cannabis retail. Attendees can choose targeted learning tracks or attend broader sessions based on their goals.
Pre-conference forums—such as the Finance Forum, Manufacturing Forum, and Marketing Forum—provide deeper specialization for attendees seeking focused insights.
Networking, Deals & the “MJBizCon Week” Experience
While the convention center is the hub, the entire city of Las Vegas becomes part of MJBizCon week. Official meetups, happy hours, and on-site networking spaces, including The Patio, offer structured opportunities to connect. Meanwhile, countless unofficial events—brand parties, investment summits, dispensary activations, and private dinners—take place across the Strip and downtown.
This broader ecosystem has grown so much that MJBizCon is often described as the industry’s unofficial annual festival, drawing companies to host their own events around the same dates to maximize exposure. Investors meet operators, MSOs scout partnerships, tech firms demo new tools, and entrepreneurs pitch ideas—all in an atmosphere built for collaboration.
