The Cannabis Means Business (CMB) expo is blazing a trail in the rapidly evolving cannabis industry. Set to take place in June in the bustling city of New York, CMB is not your average trade show. It offers a comprehensive experience for professionals who are determined to stay ahead of the game in this dynamic industry. With a focus on education, networking, and immersive brand activations, CMB is the go-to event for entrepreneurs, executives, investors, advocates, and innovators who are shaping the future of cannabis.
What sets CMB apart from other cannabis expos? Let’s take a closer look at what attendees can expect:
Curated Conference Sessions: The CMB conference program is carefully crafted to challenge, inform, and inspire. Top industry leaders, policymakers, legacy operators, and trailblazing entrepreneurs will share their insights on a wide range of topics, from regulation and social equity to investment strategy, retail innovation, and product development.
Whoopi Goldberg Live Fireside Chat: One of the most highly anticipated moments at CMB is the live fireside chat with cultural icon and cannabis advocate Whoopi Goldberg, joined by CNBC’s Tim Seymour. Whoopi will share her personal journey, insights into the cannabis space, and her latest venture. This is a rare opportunity for attendees to hear from one of the industry’s most passionate and recognizable voices.
Dynamic Networking Events: CMB’s networking events are just as powerful as its business programming. From the lively B2B Rooftop Bash featuring the iconic NORML FORML, to the exclusive O2VAPE Industry Yacht Party cruising the Hudson, these events offer a more relaxed setting to build real relationships, spark partnerships, and celebrate the community.
The Women’s Entrepreneur Luncheon: CMB is committed to uplifting the voices and leadership of women in cannabis. The Women’s Entrepreneur Luncheon is a dedicated gathering focused on connection, storytelling, and visibility.
Immersive Floor Activations: The exhibit hall is not just a marketplace, it’s a hands-on experience. Attendees can discover emerging brands, explore product showcases, and engage in curated activations that bring innovation to life.
Who should attend CMB? The expo is designed for professionals across the cannabis spectrum, including brand founders and executives looking to scale and make meaningful connections, retailers and distributors scouting new products and insights, investors seeking the next big idea in cannabis, advocates and policy leaders working to build a more equitable industry, and newcomers eager to enter the space with knowledge and support.
But CMB is more than just a conference. It’s a community, a platform for opportunity, and a catalyst for progress. It’s where deals get done, ideas are sparked, and the industry becomes a little more connected. So mark your calendars and join us at the Cannabis Means Business Expo this June in New York City.
