Free admission for licensees & qualified buyers
Active retail owner, state-licensed grower, processor, or certified investor? Request priority professional passes.
A local-first philosophy, at national scale
NECANN doesn't run generic national roadshows. We build each event around the real state of its local market, and we've carried that discipline coast to coast.
We coordinate directly with local advocacy leagues, state regulators, and municipal commerce groups, protecting small businesses and empowering micro-license applicants.
The result is consistently high ROI. You meet the actual license holders and decision-makers investing on the ground.
Hyper-Local Focus
Every show is built around one state market, its regulators, and its operators.
Community & Equity
10% of exhibit hall space donated to social equity licensees and advocacy groups.
A Decade of Trust
Founded before Massachusetts’ first commercial dispensary opened.
Qualified Buyers
Licensed operators and certified buyers, not consumer tire-kickers.
Experience the energy firsthand
Cinematic recaps from packed expo floors and high-caliber B2B networking, captured coast to coast across the national convention circuit.

Building bridges & cultivating growth
Grow with NECANN
When we launched in 2014, the cannabis sector was largely conceptual. Over the past decade we've helped transition local grassroots programs into thriving commercial markets, from New England outward across the country.
NECANN conventions are where licenses are brokered, joint ventures are structured, and cultivation technology is purchased, a hub for operators, cultivators, advocates, legal minds, packagers, and educators alike.
