MJBizCon, the largest, most established cannabis business conference and expo in the world, will take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center, November 29 – December 1, 2023, pre-show forums in finance, science, marketing, psychedelics, and women in leadership will begin November 28.
It has been a rollercoaster year for cannabis, and as such, MJBizCon is offering unprecedented ticket pricing. Through May 25, 2023, cannabis entrepreneurs will be able to walk the expo for only $99. Additional never-before-seen prices for conference and VIP packages are also available for this limited time.
The Challenges
“Challenges have always been the norm in the cannabis industry, and now more than ever, we need to gather as a community to share our stories, experiences, and business insights to help each other and the industry thrive,” said Chief Revenue & Experience Officer, MJBiz, Jess Tyler. “Just like 12 years ago when we dared to launch MJBizCon, we want the community to know we are still here to help.”
This year’s “Dare to Grow” theme celebrates the cannabis community and those who continue to dare to dream, dare to learn and dare to expand.
Despite the complex regulations, banking limits and legalization woes, many have carved out success in the industry, through hard work, passion and a shared love of the plant. MJBizCon is where the game-changers, rule breakers, and disruptors unite to connect, innovate, and leave their mark on the industry.
