Each year, MJBizCon provides undeniable value to the cannabis industry. The world’s largest cannabis convention brings together people from all kinds of different places around the world and aims to cultivate growth within the industry.
The 2019 edition of MJBizCon once again delivered an impressive experience. The event provided a diverse crowd and a massive tradeshow floor where people were able to gain new knowledge, meet valuable contacts, and create new opportunities.
MJBizCon 2019
At this year’s event, we saw more than 750 brands on display and were able to connect with more than 1000 people from different companies across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Columbia, Spain, and Israel. There was almost an overwhelming number of booths but thankfully the convention lasted three days and provided ample time to connect with every single one.
Although there was an all-time high when it comes to the number of attendees, there was plenty of space to mingle and talk. The opportunity to connect with so many different professionals is truly what separated MJBizCon 2019 from other top-tier national conventions and cannabis industry events.
One of my personal favorite highlights was meeting a genuinely-happy and inspiring David Irving who is an athlete and cannabis advocate who used to play in the National Football League (NFL) for the Dallas Cowboys. Connecting with David and talking about what he’s been up to with his new Cannabis Passport company was an inspiring moment I’ll never forget.
Our team also was a partner for a one-of-a-kind MJBiz-affiliated event called DREAM. Featuring live entertainment, an infusion consumption lounge, and a collection of highly respected cannabis brand partners, the first annual DREAM event ended up bringing together a few thousand MJBizCon guests.
For me, the biggest lesson I learned is that there are all kinds of different challenges that will arise throughout life and especially in cannabis. How we choose to react and respond plus what we decide to do with our time is ultimate what pushes companies to being successful. Sometimes our decisions can bankrupt a business or maybe you make the right call, save big, and earn millions. In all scenarios, the cannabis industry still requires a strong mindset and a special kind of hustle.
MJBizCon is great for a multitude of reasons, but for me, the energy and excitement that comes with so much potential growth and success is electric. This is one of the many reasons why the cannabis industry is such an exciting space to be in right now.
