Fast Buds conquers Las Vegas at MJBizCon 2023
With over 10 editions, MJBizCon holds its place as a premier cannabis business conference and tradeshow. Hosted at the Las Vegas Convention Center, this event gathers over 1,400 exhibitors, an extensive 3-day conference and expo, pre-show forums, and presentations from more than 100 industry speakers.
The networking opportunities, potential for deal-making, and prospects for building partnerships are unmatched, attracting over 30,000 cannabis entrepreneurs from around the world in anticipation of the 2023 edition.
The significance of MJBizCon has grown notably since 2017 when Nevada legalized recreational cannabis use, bringing heightened attention and attendance to this iconic event.
Banana Purple Punch tests at 30.4% THC!
Amidst the lively atmosphere of the expo, our company recognized the importance of showcasing our robust presence in the United States. The official release of our US website provided an ideal platform for us to solidify our standing in the market and strengthen relationships with retailers and distributors.
First of all, let's give a round of applause to Chubbs, who not only secured victory at the American Autoflower Cup with our Strawberry Gorilla Auto, testing at an impressive 29.86% cannabinoids, but also brought along a sample of the exquisite Banana Purple Punch Auto.
This strain showcased remarkable potency, testing at 30.4% THC at the MJ BizCon, setting a new world record among autoflowers! This serves as a true testament to the capabilities of modern autoflowering genetics.
Moreover, we extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who visited our booth and showed support. Special thanks go out to our dedicated growers and partners, many of whom we've engaged with online for years, including individuals such as @freegrow8, @icanthc, @highigan, and @chubbskas.
Long Time No See
However, the expo was more than just about our booth; it presented an opportunity to share knowledge and passion for autoflowers on a broader stage.
Our live sessions from MJ BizCon, adeptly hosted by @BasementGrowShow, enabled us to interact with our audience, emphasizing the spirit of community and camaraderie. The expansive nature of the expo provided numerous avenues for exploration, with an abundance of sights, activities, and prominent figures in the cannabis industry to connect with.
The event featured distinct pavilions catering to various aspects of the business, including business services, retail and dispensary, processing, packaging and lab services, and cultivation products. The three-day conference seamlessly offered everything a cannabis business professional might need while creating the perfect backdrop for socializing, networking, and enjoying a great time.
The conference agenda was vibrant with engaging talks meticulously curated by the editors of MJBizDaily, delivering valuable insights to navigate the current challenges in the industry. Attendees were not mere passive listeners but active participants, granted the opportunity to engage with speakers and pose burning questions.
Additionally, our team had a chance to interview some of the great growers who came to greet us. Here's one of the interviews: Meet Highigan, a couple that grows together and shares their love for the plant with the rest of the world!
Last stop before heading back home
We had a couple of days before heading back home, and we made sure to enjoy every single second we had. The first night, we had the honor of visiting the AC Infinity House with our good friend Grower Joe. It was a pleasure meeting HomeGrowTV, Pidgeon420, Rob from CLtv, Erik Nugshots, Mr. Q, Mr. Grow It, and everyone who made it a special night for our team.
After a fantastic night out, our team adventure was just starting. First up, we hit the Hollywood Sign, standing tall against the mountains like our welcoming committee to the entertainment capital. Our next stop was the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where we snapped photos with our favorite stars.
Downtown LA was a maze of excitement, and then it was off to the beaches—Santa Monica and Venice Beach! We strolled along the boardwalks, caught street performances, and couldn't resist the charm of the Santa Monica Pier.
Seeing the city laid out beneath us was the perfect way to wrap up our team LA adventure. The mix of food, culture, and excellent weed made our trip one for the team history books.
See you next year at the same place!
Seeing people from all over the world attending the event, and the scale of the expo underscores the rapid expansion of the cannabis scene in the US and worldwide. This trend is indicative of an even more substantial and impressive cannabis industry soon. Our team had a blast at the expo, we’re very thankful for the chance to meet growers and cannabis enthusiasts we've known online for years.
The chance to explore a new city, connect with like-minded individuals, and immerse ourselves in the vibrant cannabis community made MJBizCon an unforgettable experience. As we eagerly anticipate the next edition, the memories of this incredible expo linger, and we look forward to being back.
