The event was a smashing success and we planned our 2nd Annual WLS for 2020, but of course, COVID-19 had other plans.
We have now rescheduled for March 14-16, 2022. Obviously, the world we once knew has changed, so we will be adding a number of safety protocols.

NECANN - 2021 Illinois Cannabis Convention
2021-12-04 - 2021-12-05 | Mass Mutual Center, 1277 Main St, Springfield, MA, 00103
With the approval of the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act in 2019, Illinois became the first state in the U.S. to legalize recreational marijuana sales through legislation rather than voter initiatives. Vermont’s legislature allowed recreational usage but not sales (later legalizing sales after Illinois had already done so). Illinois is estimated to produce between $2 and $4 billion in annual income from recreational sales if it reaches full maturity. Illinois will also expunge an estimated 700,000 marijuana-related police records and court convictions in a staged manner expected to be finished by 2025, making it the first state in the country to do so. Since legalization, Illinois has seen an average monthly revenue of $40 million from recreational cannabis sales. Chicago hosts an impressive 44 cannabis dispensaries as of 2021. NECANN is amped to help bring some of the best in the industry together in one place in the windy city. Click the link below to get your ticket today!

“From hemp-based sports drinks to cocktails that get you high, science has finally cracked the code to making cannabis beverages that don’t taste awful, quoted Jonathan Bloom from NBC Bay Area News. The first Cannabis Drinks Expo was a huge success that gave the worldwide drinks industry, and North America in particular, the chance to come together and look at ways it can address legalized cannabis.
Hosted by the Beverage Trade Network, this expo shined a spotlight on the skyrocketing legal cannabis market and provided insight into its future brimming with opportunity.
A must-attend event for those curiously eying the future of the burgeoning U.S. cannabis industry, it also covered key issues surrounding the likelihood and timescale for legalization to other countries, as well as the impact of legalized cannabis on the traditional alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks markets

Retail Vision
2021-11-09 - 2021-11-10 | Seattle Airport Marriott, 3201 S. 176th St., United States
Marijuana Venture’s Retail Vision is the first event of its kind in the cannabis space, a best-in-class business and technology conference specifically developed to help cannabis retailers grow their enterprise and dramatically increase profits.
Retail Vision goes beyond the green-rush hype of other industry events and focuses on practical, established methods for running a successful retail establishment. The two-day event will feature expert advice from leading executives and professionals in both traditional retail and the cannabis segment. This blended approach gives participants invaluable insight into what works and what doesn’t.
Retail Vision is also the first cannabis conference to offer a money-back guarantee to attendees. The event is November 9-10, 2021, at the Seattle Airport Marriott.
“On the first day, it’s all business and we’ve assembled retail experts from various backgrounds, including Costco and Nordstrom, to take the dispensary owner’s business knowledge to the next level,” said Greg James, publisher of Marijuana Venture magazine. “We’ve also budgeted time for Q&A in each session.”
Day two is all about leveraging retail technology to improve efficiency and maximize each company’s potential. Harry Brelsford, from 420MSP, says cannabis retailers have similar technology needs to other industries. But there is a twist.
“Cannabis retailers and dispensaries have unique cannabis vertical technology workloads such as POS solutions, reporting needs (compliance and traceability) and security (cyber and physical),” he says. “On day two of Retail Vision, attendees will have the chance to get their arms around all the relevant cannabis technology.”
Advanced retail best practices covered during the two-day event include merchandising, add-on sales, customer services and buying/vendor practices, among other critical areas for retail operations, while the technology component explores digital marketing, customer retention programs, point-of-sale solutions, e-commerce platforms and website design.
Retail Vision is a SAFE event adhering to CDC and State of Washington safety guidelines.
