Atlantic City US
The NECANN New Jersey Convention takes place on September 18 and 19, 2026 in Atlantic City and is one of the most important industry events for the Mid-Atlantic region of the USA. New Jersey has been a fully regulated adult market since 2022 and has developed into one of the highest-revenue cannabis locations on the East Coast.
The exhibitor list covers the entire value chain: cultivation equipment, nutrients, genetics, extraction, packaging, retail software, compliance services, insurance, and marketing. In parallel, there are expert presentations on licensing, social equity, union issues, and cross-state expansion. Atlantic City as a venue offers ideal conditions with its large convention center and proximity to Philadelphia and New York City.
For European companies, the trade show is particularly interesting because New Jersey geographically positions itself as a bridgehead for later transatlantic trade. If you want to establish a foothold in the US Northeast, Atlantic City is where you'll meet the right decision-makers from dispensary chains, distribution, and the investment side.
