Flower Expo Michigan is quickly becoming one of the cannabis industry’s most talked-about B2B trade shows, and they just made a power move. Originally scheduled for Allegan County Fairgrounds, this year’s Michigan edition will now take place August 27-28 at the Detroit Shipping Company, located in the heart of Midtown Detroit.
The relocation puts Flower Expo Michigan right in the mix of the state’s cannabis business ecosystem — surrounded by dozens of top-tier dispensaries, local attractions, and easy access to hotels and public transit. For operators, buyers, budtenders, and media alike, this venue switch sets the stage for one of the most immersive cannabis trade show experiences of the year.
“We’re excited to host brands and buyers at this new, dynamic venue,” shared Flower Expo CEO Jason Bello. “Built from repurposed shipping containers, Detroit Shipping Company offers plenty of indoor and outdoor exhibition space, along with a food court of six unique restaurants.”
Flower Expo Michigan: Cannabis Culture Meets Detroit Grit
The Detroit Shipping Company isn’t your typical trade show venue — and that’s exactly the point. With its hybrid indoor/outdoor layout, covered beer garden, and eclectic food offerings, the space is a perfect match for Flower Expo’s high-energy, relationship-driven format.
This is about face-to-face connections, product sampling, and building with the real ones pushing the Michigan industry forward.
Day One is for buyers and decision-makers — a chance for dispensaries and licensed brands to tap in, test products, and lock in deals.
Day Two invites budtenders from across the state to experience the products firsthand, connect with brands, and soak in the culture from the ground up.
A Lineup Worth Pulling Up For
The exhibitor list is already stacked with heavy hitters like WYLD, Kai Cultivation, Gramazon, and Franklin Fields, with hundreds of dispensary reps confirmed to attend. More brands and partners are expected to join the roster leading up to showtime, making this one of the most anticipated events in Michigan cannabis for 2025.
As always, Flower Expo stands out for allowing on-site cannabis consumption — meaning budtenders and buyers don’t have to just hear about product quality, they can experience it in real-time.
Flower Expo Michigan 2025 Is More Than a Trade Show
Beyond the deals and the demos, Flower Expo doubles as a space for community. With its beer garden, open-air lounges, and international food stalls, the vibe is built for networking, content creation, and connecting over shared passion — not just business.
Expect music, conversations, new friendships, and a whole lot of gas in the air.
It’s Detroit.
It’s cannabis.
It’s Flower Expo.
