What Exhibitors and Attendees Say
On-the-record experiences from cannabis professionals, retailers, brands, and the businesses that support them. From start-ups to industry leaders, there’s a reason they return to NECANN show after show, year after year, to scale their operations.
“We're looking to accelerate business connections. NECANN has been absolutely phenomenal in doing that. It's delivered on all fronts. It met every expectation and exceeded a lot of them.”
“I have been standing for 7 hours straight and I have not left the booth yet… that's how many people are here talking to us right now.”
“The best thing about NECANN is it's very cannabis business centric. If you've never been to a trade show about cannabis, NECANN's one of the best!”
“We will definitely be attending more NECANN events in the future. It's just a great time.”
“We're able to connect with indoor growers, we're able to connect with store owners, we're able to connect with new operations, we're able to connect with new businesses that are forming in and out of the state. So NECANN is drawing from a multiple state area.”
“This is where you gotta show up if you want to be known in Massachusetts. If you're launching any product that's related to the cannabis Industry, this is the place to do it.”
“We were really happy with turn out and flow of the show! Congrats on another year managing this kickass event. Thanks!”
“What a great show. We were able to network with fellow vendors and met many fascinating customers. What a great turn out! Thank you so much for the opportunity to take part. We will be back.”
“NECANN Conventions are not just a walk into one booth, look and go to the next. You are getting a lot of good conversation. You are getting a lot of good contacts. It is truly unique to some of the other conventions.”
“New England and Massachusetts come together as a cannabis community from cultivators, producers, and processors. This is the show to attend.”
“NECANN is one of the best events across the country that you can attend to further your business, to learn, network, create partnerships, and have an incredible experience.”
“From the credit card processing, to the banking, to growing the product we use, it's been amazing meeting everybody here from all over the United States.”
“The energy is great, a lot of nice people, people who want to learn. That's what this is about: education.”
“You could speak to ten people in the space of an hour that would take you a month at home trying to figure out that same information. Just the ability to talk to so many people in a short amount of time is awesome.”
“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.”
“Busiest show I have attended yet. The leads will pay off in time.”
“NECANN is the BEST place to do business.”
“We came. We saw. We talked to qualified leads. We sold.”
“We'll definitely be at NECANN next year, we're looking at displaying at more of their events. They are always great shows for us.”
“Our team said it was one of the best shows we've been to in a while.”
“Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be a part of the event. It was a great success and I wish you luck with the upcoming expos in other cities!”
“To see how the crowds have grown is unbelievable. We're very selective about the shows we do; we never miss NECANN.”
“Of all the shows I attended, NECANN in Boston was the best as far as large-scale cultivators in New England, with state licensed cultivators from Maine, NH, Mass, Conn, and RI all there.”
“Everything was well organized; I was pleased and will schedule again in 2020.”
“The event was great! Looking forward to next year!”
“That was a pleasure, can't wait for the next one!”
“This has been a very successful event, we've met multi-state operators, local retailers, and a lot of growers.”
“We will definitely be back next year!”
“Will I attend NECANN again? Absolutely!”
“NECANN has been full of potential. We are getting a ton of foot traffic and we're really excited to meet the new license holders in the state of Maryland.”
“If you're a new brand, if you're a growing brand, this is the place to be.”
“It's been nothing but exciting conversations the entire time. A lot of momentum and I can't wait to see what comes of it.”
“We definitely see NECANN to be a very valuable event just for networking purposes, getting exposure, talking to people. I think the most important part of it is consumer education.”
“It's just connection after connection. It's a wonderful networking opportunity.”
“A lot of new entrants into the market and it's a great way to network with the new people, so the events are really good for us.”
“What's going on in New York now is a great opportunity. The time is now, as things are shifting and regulations are being rolled out.”
“People are here for so many different reasons, retailers, wholesalers, etc.”
“We love NECANN!”
“Honestly, I think NECANN differentiates itself because it has a wide array of exhibitors.”
“The show is drawing more quality exhibitors and that leads to better networking. We had a couple of new deals that we struck up that will have a big impact on our business going forward. More out of state customers, investors and engineering are interested in locating in MA and we meet them here.”
“You can find everything here at NECANN.”
“This has been a very successful event. We have been able to have in front of us multi-state operators all the way down to mom and pops. We also met a lot of growers.”
“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!”
“It's been a great show, I can't believe how packed it is, we're definitely going to come back.”
“We have attended other NECANN events, we've never had a booth and unfortunately for me, that's a missed opportunity in the past, but looking forward we will be here present at every single one.”
“One of the main reasons we come to NECANN is to connect with cultivators, and the movers and shakers in the local market.”
“NECANN is a great show, great turnout, we're always happy to be here.”
“We love doing this show (NECANN Maine)!”
“This is my 2nd NECANN show, we will definitely be at all that NECANN puts together. We started with the Boston show which was awesome and this ME show although smaller was a positive surprise. Very good all-around with plenty of room to grow.”
“Great time and you guys do a bang up job. Great first experience with you guys.”
“That was a great event! Thanks for all your hard work coordinating everything.”
“The event was great, by far the best cannabis expo on the East Coast yet! Thankful to be a part of it.”
“Having been at NECANN the last 3 years has shown us time and time again that it's a show you have to be at every year.”
“Great show. Thanks for including us and for all your support. We look forward to doing it again next year.”
“NECANN differentiates itself from other conferences by having such a wide variety of exhibitors, there's something here for everyone.”
“Foot traffic has been awesome! We're so glad.”
“I see each year there are more and more attendees, more vendors; these are multi-state, and even international companies that are now coming here. I'd recommend NECANN to anyone, either exhibiting or attending. We'll absolutely be back.”
“NECANN has been a very successful show for us in multiple ways. We meet existing patients, new patients, and new trade partners.”
“One of the great things about NECANN is that it draws people from all over the local area. We'll always come back to NECANN.”
“We do all the NECANN shows, great crowds, lots of interest!”
