Inside CannaCon
See what's happening.
CannaCon brings culture, commerce, education and community together across the show floor. Explore the experiences, lounges, learning environments and product-focused areas that give people more reasons to stay, discover and connect.
Culture, creators and community
Culture Neighborhood
The Culture Neighborhood is designed as the place where cannabis culture comes alive. Expect live personalities and interviews, glassblowing, joint-rolling competition, artists, creators, advocacy, culture products and other experiences that connect the history, personalities and creative energy of cannabis with the people on the show floor.
Product discovery
Infused Neighborhood & Tasting Lounge
A dedicated environment for discovering infused products, emerging formats and the makers behind them. The Tasting Lounge gives attendees a more focused way to explore the category, compare products and connect with the companies building the next generation of infused experiences.
The show after the show
Afterparties
CannaCon continues after the expo floor closes. Evening programming can bring together DJs, artists, partners, regional Cup entrants and the broader community for informal meet-and-greets, performances and nightlife experiences that keep conversations going after show hours.
Growing better
Home Grow & Genetics
Home Grow & Genetics brings cultivation education and product discovery together. Programming can cover grow technology, lighting, automation, environmental control, nutrients, plant health, harvesting, curing, genetics, seeds, clones and cultures, while the show floor gives growers a place to meet breeders, technology providers and suppliers directly.
From production floor to finished product
Processing & Manufacturing
Processing & Manufacturing connects operators with the equipment and systems behind commercial cannabis production. Explore extraction and infusion technology, automation, packaging, production equipment and operational solutions designed for companies building, expanding or improving how products are made.
Learn. Get trained. Get connected.
Budtender Certification
CannaCon works with qualified regional education and training organizations to offer professional budtender training built around the needs of each local cannabis market. Courses may cover products and terminology, cannabinoids and terpenes, customer service, compliance, ID verification, responsible sales, point-of-sale operations, product safety and career preparation. Credentials and curriculum vary by market and training partner.
Business performance
Financial Education
Applied finance and strategy education helps owners and operators understand the numbers behind better business decisions. Sessions focus on practical topics such as cash flow, margins, forecasting, capital allocation, resource decisions and responsible growth, using cannabis-industry operating realities rather than generic business theory.
Practical industry education
Industry Seminars
Industry seminars bring operators, specialists and subject-matter experts together for live sessions across cultivation, processing, retail, compliance, operations, business and technology. The goal is practical education that gives attendees useful context, ideas and questions to take back into their businesses.
