Boston US
The New England Cannabis Convention, or NECANN for short, has been one of the most important regional cannabis trade shows in the USA for years. The flagship edition in Boston takes place on April 24-25, 2026 at the Hynes Convention Center and brings together around 400 exhibitors with a broad professional audience from Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
The range of topics spans from medical cannabis to cultivation, laboratories, retail technology, packaging, law firms, and financial services, as well as hemp and CBD. Educational tracks run in parallel with presentations on compliance, marketing, social equity, and scientific topics. The trade show is suitable for newcomers as well as established companies looking to expand their supplier base or open up new distribution channels.
For European visitors, NECANN Boston is a pragmatic entry point into the US market: the region has mature regulations, active patient programs, and an established adult-use market. Additionally, Boston is easily accessible from Europe, making this one of the most efficient transatlantic cannabis events in 2026.
