iKrusher at MJBizCon 2024

This is the story of a small, brave cannabis convention that grew into a friendly green giant. It was started by a group of enthusiastic entrepreneurs in a small room at a Las Vegas hotel in 2012 when the cannabis industry was in its infancy. But over the last thirteen years, MJBizCon has continued to grow and grow. And iKrusher has been them much of the way! And this year is no different. iKrusher will be at this year's show, which is the biggest year yet! This blog looks at the history of the MJBizCon, iKrusher's role in that history, and what to look forward to at this year's show!

Let's get started!

MJBizDaily

MJBizCon was launched in 2011 by MJBizDaily (also known as Marijuana Business Daily and MMJ Business Daily). Initially, MJBizDaily was an informative news website, magazine, email newsletter, and fact book. MJBizDaily quickly became a trusted source of unbiased B2B news and information for the cannabis and hemp industries, serving the needs of cannabis cultivators, processors, testing labs, investors, infused product makers, retailers, and related businesses. With their deep industry knowledge, MJBizDaily created MJBizCon. This annual event, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, attracts professionals across the cannabis sector. 

MJBizCon

Starting modestly in Las Vegas in 2012, MJBizCon has grown into one of the most significant cannabis industry conventions in the world. Though it only missed 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has expanded every year alongside the booming cannabis industry. This year's event is no different—MJBizCon remains a crucial convention for the entire cannabis sector. Known for its strong B2B focus, it’s a must-attend gathering for businesses across the cannabis ecosystem, including cultivators, testing labs, product manufacturers, financial services, dispensaries, investors, and supporting companies.

MJBizCon's growth continues with this year's 3-day (Dec 3-6) conference spread across two Las Vegas Convention Center halls. It will feature over 1,400 exhibitors and over 30,000 cannabis executives and entrepreneurs from around the world. This year's show is an exciting redesign with segmented pavilions focusing on specific cannabis industry sectors, including Cultivation Products & Services, Processing, Packaging & Lab Services, Retail & Dispensary, and Business Services. And as always, iKrusher the leading provider of wholesale cannabis vape hardware is proud to be a part of it.

How to Plan for MJBizCon

Here are some tips when planning for your MJBizCon experience. MJBizCon isn't just another business conference. It's one of the biggest and best conferences serving the constantly growing cannabis industry. Comprised of four major areas, spanning two massive halls in the Las Vegas Convention Center. With a show this big, it's a good idea to prepare and plan ahead of your arrival at the show. Here is a list of ideas to help make sure you get the most from your MJBizCon experience.

MJBizCon Tips

Define your goals - What do you hope to achieve at this year's MJBizCon? Are you hoping to get promising leads and contacts? Or are you hoping to discover a new technology or hardware manufacturer? Knowing what you want to get out of the show for you and your business is the best place to start planning.

Plan your route - You can explore the entire show using this handy map before you even step on the plane. Plan to check out companies to connect with, areas to explore, conferences to see, speakers to hear, and exhibitors to see. At MJBizCon, you will always see new and exciting things.

Arrive early (Leave late!) - To ensure you meet and see everyone you hope to reach, arrive as soon as possible in the morning. Stay as long as you can to meet as many people as possible. Collect as many contacts as possible and see as much as possible. Time is precious, so make the most of your time in Las Vegas.

Dress to impress (and survive!) - Dress in appropriate business attire that shows you are serious about business. But also wear clothes that breathe, stretch, and are comfortable. Especially shoes, as you will be on your feet walking the show and meeting with people most of the day.

Plan meetings ahead of time - Whenever possible, reach out to companies you want to meet with in person and schedule a meeting. This way, you'll be sure to meet with the individuals or company reps you want to, and you will be less likely to go home disappointed.
