Cannabis business conference MJBizCon is set to take place this year on Nov. 15-18 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The conference will now be in the South Hall, where it will span two floors, unveiling a new expo floor layout divided into industry sectors including cultivation, processing, packaging and lab services, business services, and retail/dispensary.

The 2022 event will host over 1,400 exhibitors in the 320,000-square-foot expo and feature more than 140 speakers throughout the three day conference and pre-show forums. More than 35,000 cannabis industry professionals, entrepreneurs, executives and investors from around the world are expected for the exceptional networking, partnership-building opportunities and deal-closing week.

“With the cannabis conversation heating up in Washington, D.C., exciting new markets such as New York preparing to launch and the mid-term elections right around the corner, coming together as an industry to innovate, collaborate and prepare for the future is more important than ever,” said Chris Walsh, CEO of MJBiz. “MJBizCon Week is a chance for all cannabis professionals across the globe to propel their businesses and the industry forward, cement crucial deals and celebrate all we’ve accomplished as a community.”
