NECANN: The Cannabis convention michigan has been waiting for

In a crowded field of events, NECANN conventions are a unique mix of the local industry, advocates, and community, combined with leading national companies and thought leaders from around the country.  Since 2014, our locally-focused conventions have helped expand market opportunities for businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, educators, patients, advocates, and consumers. 

Our event is the only major convention entirely focused on cannabis opportunities and education relevant to Michigan, as opposed to the generic traveling canna-convention franchises that pop up everywhere.  Rather than popping in once a year to see what the Michigan cannabis industry can do for us, NECANN will take a collaborative, inclusive approach with the goal of helping local businesses, entrepreneurs, career seekers, medical patients network, learn and grow along with the local cannabis market as a whole. 

 
 
 

NECANN Cannabis Expo Exhibitor Alert: Fraudulent Service Solicitations

NECANN exhibitors (and pretty much every other cannabis convention) have been targeted by non-authorized groups making phone and e-mail solicitations offering services like fake hotel & travel reservations, and access to exhibitor contact lists, and attendee lists.

NECANN DOES NOT sell its exhibitor or attendee lists and these companies are NOT affiliated with us in any way.
