MJBizCon B2B conference

What Is MJBizCon?

MJBizCon 2026 runs December 1 through 4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV. It's the biggest B2B cannabis event in the world and it's been running for 15 years. It connects entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders across cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and retail. Four days, one massive convention center, and pretty much every serious player in the industry under one roof.

The expo hall is organized into four dedicated neighborhoods: cultivation, retail and dispensary, business services, and processing, packaging, and lab services. On top of that you've got four days of conference sessions, pre-show certifications on December 1, networking events, state takeovers, and after-hours programming. If you only go to one cannabis industry event this year, this is the one.

One heads-up: early bird rates end after June 25th, so register now if you haven't already.

Why Cannabis Operators Should Care

There's no other event in cannabis that operates at this scale. MJBizCon is where connections turn into deals, ideas become movements, and the future of cannabis takes shape. That's not marketing copy, that's just what happens when you put 20,000+ industry professionals in the same building for four days.

Conference sessions cover cultivation, retail marketing and operations, policy, regulations and compliance, drug development and clinical research, and the innovations shaping the future of cannabis. That's the full stack. It doesn't matter if you're running a dispensary, a distribution operation, or a cultivation facility trying to figure out your next move — there's a track for you.

New this year: expanded buyer programs including a Hosted Buyer Program, Retail Buyer Program, and a new partnership with Grow World, bringing more qualified decision-makers and ready-to-buy operators to the show. If you're a brand or vendor, that's a big deal.

How to Get the Most Out of MJBizCon 2026

Register Before June 25th

Early bird rates end after June 25th. After that, prices go up. If you're going, lock it in now. The full access pass gets you pre-show certifications, all four days of conference sessions, and the expo floor.

Show Up on Tuesday for Certifications

December 1 is pre-show certification day, with expert-led training across retail, finance, product development, compliance, and operations. Most people skip Tuesday. Don't. You'll walk into Wednesday already ahead of everyone who flew in that morning.

Plan Your Expo Floor Before You Go

The expo hall has four neighborhoods: cultivation, retail and dispensary, business services, and processing, packaging, and lab services. Download the floor plan before you travel. Pick your priority booths, map a route, and don't try to cover everything. You won't. Four days sounds like a lot until you're on the floor and realize it's not.

Hit the Networking Events

Networking programming includes state takeovers, industry meetups, Empowering Women in Cannabis, and Achieving Equity sessions. These aren't optional extras — they're where a lot of the real conversations happen. Check the schedule and register for the ones relevant to you before they fill up.

Follow Up Before You Fly Home

Don't wait until you're back in the office. The people you meet on Wednesday forget you by Friday if you don't follow up. Spend 20 minutes each evening sending quick notes to the people you actually want to stay in touch with. By the time you land home, your pipeline is already warm.
