Every December, Las Vegas turns green — and we’re not talking about the felt on the blackjack tables. The cannabis industry takes over the city when MJBizCon rolls into town. It’s that one week when you can’t walk through a hotel lobby without bumping into growers, investors, and entrepreneurs all swapping stories, pitching ideas, and closing deals over cocktails.

We’ve been covering MJBizCon for years, and the vibe never disappoints. The energy hits you the minute you step onto the show floor — rows of massive booths, the smell of innovation (and maybe a little terpenes), and a nonstop hum of people talking business. Whether you’re in cultivation, retail, finance, or tech, this is where the movers and shakers of the industry come to meet.

The 2025 show runs December 2–5 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the biggest yet. More brands, more exhibitors, more after-hours events — and the same electric atmosphere that makes MJBizCon unlike any other trade show in the city.

The Premier Cannabis Business Conference & Expo

MJBizCon didn’t become the biggest cannabis business event in the world by accident. It earned that spot. Every year, it draws a mix of entrepreneurs, investors, retailers, and innovators who show up ready to learn, connect, and get deals done.

This year, the numbers tell the story — more than 20,000 people, 1,000+ exhibitors, 200 speakers, and 70 sessions packed with real talk from the people shaping the industry. The expo floor itself is massive — think four dedicated zones covering Cultivation, Processing & Packaging, Retail, and Business Services — each one buzzing with new products, new ideas, and nonstop energy.

If you’ve never been, it’s the kind of event that hits all your senses at once: lights flashing, people talking over each other to pitch their latest innovation, and that constant undercurrent of opportunity in every corner.

The theme this year is all about connection and growth, and it fits. Whether you’re trying to scale your brand, find a new supplier, or just stay ahead of the curve, MJBizCon 2025 is where you figure out what’s next.
