MJBizCon has been the central meeting point of the global cannabis industry for years – and in 2026, the conference takes place from December 1–4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Around 30,000 industry visitors, entrepreneurs, investors, and suppliers from around the world are expected. For European cannabis companies, this date is a rare opportunity to experience firsthand the world’s most mature and largest cannabis market and establish business relationships.
What to Expect
MJBizCon combines multiple formats under one roof: a multi-day trade show with hundreds of exhibitors, a comprehensive conference program with keynotes and specialist presentations, and high-profile networking events. The focus is on business development – the organizers consistently describe the show as the place where the cannabis industry closes deals.
On the exhibition floor, you’ll meet companies from all areas of the value chain: genetics and seeds, cultivation technology, extraction equipment, packaging solutions, software providers, payment service providers, and retail concepts. In parallel, specialized conferences run on topics such as capital markets, regulatory compliance, international market development, and cannabinoid science.
The target audience is broad: cultivators and processors, retail chains, investors, consultants, lawyers, government representatives, and technology providers. Whether you work in the cannabis industry or plan to, you’ll find benchmarks, technology partners, and current market data firsthand here.
Location and Travel
The Las Vegas Convention Center is centrally located in Las Vegas and is easily accessible. Most international flights land at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), approximately 20 minutes’ drive from the Convention Center. Shuttles, taxis, and ride-sharing services connect the airport with the show and nearby hotels.
Las Vegas has extensive hotel infrastructure – from budget options to luxury hotels. Many large hotels are in the immediate vicinity of the Convention Center or are reachable by short shuttle rides. For European visitors, travel is possible with direct flights from major German, Austrian, and Swiss airports, though you should expect 10–12 hours of flight time.
December in Las Vegas is mild and dry – daytime temperatures around 15–20 °C, cooler at night. Light clothing with a jacket is sufficient.
Tickets and Prices
MJBizCon offers various ticket categories: day passes, four-day passes, and VIP options with extended networking events. Early-bird discounts are typically available in the months before the show. International visitors often pay the same prices as US exhibitors and visitors.
Current ticket prices and booking options can be found on the organizers’ official website. It’s worth booking early – popular ticket categories often sell out months in advance.
Why This Event?
MJBizCon is one of the few trade shows worldwide where the US market, Canada, and emerging international markets are represented simultaneously. This makes it unique for European companies looking to further develop their medical cannabis strategies or build technology partnerships.
2026 is a special year: the US cannabis industry continues to mature, new states are liberalizing their laws, and international markets (Europe, Latin America, Asia) are gaining importance. If you want to understand where the industry is heading, MJBizCon offers current figures, trend analyses, and direct contact with decision-makers.
Another advantage: Las Vegas is an established trade show venue with optimal infrastructure. The city also offers evening programs and relaxation between conference days – a factor that makes multi-day shows more enjoyable.
