Las Vegas, NV — The world’s largest cannabis business conference, MJBizCon, is set to return to the Las Vegas Convention Center from November 18 to 20, with more than 30,000 attendees and 1,400 exhibitors expected.
The event is considered the industry’s premier gathering, attracting cultivators, retailers, investors, policymakers, and service providers from around the globe. Organizers say the 2025 edition will focus heavily on the shifting U.S. regulatory landscape, innovations in cannabis technology, and global market expansion.
New York’s Presence
New York operators are expected to play a visible role at this year’s conference. Several licensed cultivators and retail brands from the state have registered as exhibitors, aiming to showcase products and secure distribution deals. Industry analysts note that MJBizCon has historically been a launchpad for New York companies seeking national recognition.
Key Programming
Highlights of the 2025 conference include:
- Opening keynote: A panel of U.S. state regulators discussing federal reform prospects.
- Expo floor: Featuring cultivation technology, retail design, and cannabis finance innovations.
- Investor pitch sessions: Opportunities for startups, including several from New York, to present to institutional investors.
- International pavilion: Delegations from Canada, Germany, and Latin America.
Why It Matters
For New Yorkers, MJBizCon provides insight into how the state’s operators stack up against national and international competition. It also offers a platform for partnerships and capital raising, which remain critical challenges for cannabis entrepreneurs in New York.
With New York’s adult-use market still maturing, participation in global events like MJBizCon is seen as a way to gain visibility and credibility beyond state borders.
