Hosted by the Beverage Trade Network, the buzzing Cannabis Drinks Expo returns to San Francisco for 4th year on July 27, 2023 and to Chicago for its 3rd year on August 1, 2023.
Cannabis Drinks Expo is for anyone involved in the cannabis beverages supply chain or looking to get into cannabis beverages. Both San Francisco and Chicago saw a huge networking opportunity for anyone curious about the future direction of the cannabis drinks industry in the United States.
2023 Cannabis Drinks Expo show’s in San Francisco and Chicago will continue to focus in “Growing the Category” with 4 main areas. The conference and trade show will be planned around the below pillars.
Creating End Consumer Pull
One of the main challenges the cannabis drinks category faces is to create end consumer demand. CDE will work with speakers, visitors, exhibitors and media to create more end consumer awareness on Cannabis Beverages.
The ultimate demand in consumers will help dispensaries and retailers stock cannabis beverages which will help the entire supply chain.
Educating Consumers on Cannabis Beverages
The second pillar that CDE will focus on will be inducing end consumers with more technical information and on why they should ‘try’ cannabis beverages.
CDE will work with key influencers in the next 12 months to educate current cannabis consumers on cannabis beverages and also craft beer, wine and spirits drinkers on how cannabis beverages can also be part of their social consumption.
State Bottlenecks
One of the common feedback CDE got was to have other state co-packers and MSO’s at both the locations as they are key to unlocking some logistical and legal bottlenecks that we have in place in the US market.
CDE will work on getting leading co-packers and MSO’s as exhibitors in 2023. This will help current and new brands expand their distribution.
National and International Theme
This year will also have a focus on bringing international and other state participants where companies can partner with each other to open new markets.
BTN hosts 16 events around the world including London, Paris and Shanghai.
