MJBizCon 2026, the cannabis industry's largest business-to-business expo, takes place November 30 through December 3 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. With federal rescheduling, a hemp enforcement deadline and state-by-state labeling rules in flux, organizers say the gathering is built around practical answers for operators rather than product browsing alone.

What is on the agenda at MJBizCon 2026?

The opening general session, "Solving for Schedule III: What Rescheduling Means for Operators," will look at how federal reform could affect taxation, banking and compliance, according to GreenState. A second session, "Hemp at the Cliff: Survive the Coming Enforcement Deadline," addresses the changing regulatory landscape.

New this year are an Innovation Stage for emerging technology, an Investment & Liquidity Summit on capital and mergers, and a Drug Development & Clinical Research Insights track. A curated meeting program called The Exchange pairs hosted buyers with brands. Ashley Secondini, MJBizCon's senior director of brand and content strategy, told GreenState that operators "have a lot to navigate."

Why you should go

  • Timely sessions: The program confronts rescheduling and the hemp enforcement deadline head-on, which organizers say is meant to help businesses understand what is changing and how to prepare.
  • Compliance guidance: A December 3 panel with attorney Casey Leaver covers packaging and labeling errors that can pull products from shelves.
  • New programming: The Innovation Stage, the Investment & Liquidity Summit and the clinical research track are all debuting this year.
  • Targeted networking: The Exchange sets up pre-scheduled meetings between buyers and brands, and the expo hall groups exhibitors by sector.
  • Credentials: On-site certifications cover retail, finance, compliance, cultivation and more.

Why packaging is on the program

Compliance is a recurring theme. Leaver, senior director of compliance at the law firm Vicente, said the basic errors have faded, but problems persist with cannabinoid reporting, batch information, labels reused across state lines and outdated templates.

"It could be from 2017, and guidance has changed since then," Leaver said. She advises operators to recheck labels once printed, since a design that looks compliant on screen may not be on the package.

What to know before you go

MJBizCon draws entrepreneurs, investors and executives from cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and retail. Exhibitors are grouped by sector: growing, dispensary retail, business services, and processing, packaging and lab work. Deep-dive certifications are offered December 1.
