How speakers get selected
Submit Your Abstract
Pitch a panel, workshop, or deep-dive session through the portal for the show you want to speak at. Non-commercial and education-first proposals rise to the top.
Committee Review
Regional selection committees review applications on a rolling basis, weighing relevance to the local market, depth, and speaker expertise.
Get Confirmed
Panels are typically locked 60-90 days before each show. Selected speakers receive full convention VIP passes and placement in the official schedule.
What makes a great session
Our committees prioritize non-commercial, highly educational panels, deep-dive workshops, and actionable compliance methodologies. The best sessions send attendees home with something they can use on Monday.
Sales presentations, promotional product pitches, and brand advertisements are strictly disqualified during initial screening. Come to teach, not to sell.
Selected speakers receive full convention VIP passes and inclusion across every official educational schedule for their show.
Topics NECANN covers
Compliance, cultivation science, retail, policy, investment, branding, and more.
