Playing Catch-up

After a multi-month hiatus, Virtual notes on Live events is Back!

BIG NEWS Department:

Next year's New England Cannabis Convention (Boston, March 22-23, 2024) will be our 10th year in Boston! We'll be celebrating that with 50% more exhibit halls, and 50% less show days! Wait. What?

Here's the deal: the past few years we've had to run the Boston convention as a three-day event because the number of attendees on the second day would have exceeded fire code limits. At the same time, we've been selling out the 2 exhibit halls well in advance every year and have had to turn away lots of great companies (over 70 in 2023!) due to lack of space as all the other halls at the Hynes were being used for other events. Thankfully that has all changed for 2024, as we were able to secure a 3rd exhibit hall that will allow us to not only accommodate the extra exhibitors, but also reduce the event down to two days as spreading the attendees over three halls fixes the capacity issue!

So to sum up: 2023 was 2 halls, 3 days. 2024 will be 3 halls, 2 days. Got it?

Also new for 2024:

  • We're including access to all workshops as part of the full convention tickets (they traditionally have required a separate ticket purchase).
  • There will be a stage and seating area in the upstairs exhibit hall where we'll present the 2024 NECANN Cup winners on Friday, and the Best of New England Cannabis Poll winners on Saturday.

That's all I'm saying for now, but MUCH more news to come next week!

In the meantime, if you missed our 2023 Illinois Cannabis Convention check out the highlights below and see how huge this event grew over last year! Also worth a peek are the highlights from our 1st ever NECANN Connecticut Cannabis Convention, which away all expectations!

Love the changes the NECANN team are announcing for Boston next year. Have been going since the inception and these changes make a lot of sense. I created a panel at @NECANN Connecticut, as well as brought several clients, and we all got something amazing and impactful to utilize going forward as we set up the framework in the Nutmeg State!
