NECANN New Jersey Testimonials
Compared to other conferences, not only is NECANN more economical, but the connections we make here are better than what we make at pretty much any other convention we've been to. NJ show was potentially the best I've attended. Or right up there. You hit the nail on the head for getting a mainly B2B non-consumer crowd, and the vibe was great.
We experienced the best show we had in years in New Jersey. NECANN is the best in the industry, we've paid 3x the cost with others that can't bring half of the quality attendees that NECANN does every single show!

NECANN Expo Exhibitor Alert: Fraudulent Service Solicitations
NECANN exhibitors (and pretty much every other cannabis convention exhibitors) 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.
