A true testament to the rise and strength of the state’s maturing cannabis market, NECANN New Jersey has humbly grown since its inception in 2019 to its standing as the 3rd largest B2B (Business-to-Business) cannabis convention in the United States in 2024. On September 5th and 6th, 2025, NECANN New Jersey will surely reign supreme yet again as an estimated 5,000+ industry insiders are expected to attend.
Trust us when we say that there is nothing “mids” about the Mid-Atlantic cannabis market, as some of the most potent and flavorful flowers and hash are being harvested and handcrafted right here in ‘The Garden State’ of New Jersey.
NECANN New Jersey 2025 will feature 200+ intentionally curated exhibitors, including more than 75 local cultivators, dispensaries, and brands in the mix, and will put them in front of thousands of real-deal decision makers from regulated cannabis markets up and down the East Coast.
In addition to the high-level networking and real-time deal-making that NECANN events are known for, this New Jersey show will include 35+ different panel discussions covering the full spectrum of current and relevant plant and industry-related topics. Here are just a few poignant examples that caught our eye:
- Dispensary Marketing Tactics That Aren’t Sales And Discounts
- From Blueprint to Bud: Optimizing Your Cannabis Irrigation System
- Delivery: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
- Delaware On Deck: The Next Big Player On The East Coast Cannabis Market
You will notice just from that small selection, smart market participants are not only looking to the recent past for clues of what works in legal weed and what definitely doesn’t, but they are also looking to the future to try to be on the leading edge of what comes next for cannabis.
They also look to other markets for hints or clues about what works with legal weed, and what definitely does not. One panel that will delve into this discussion is titled Lessons From the West: Avoiding the Costly Mistakes of Mature Cannabis Markets, and will feature Beard Bros Pharms friend, colleague, and contributor, Rachel Wright of Verdant Strategies. This one is sure to be insightful, so mark your schedule or set a reminder if you’ll be at the show.
Also, if you see two big bearded fellas that look a lot like Bill and Jeff from Beard Bros Pharms at the show, it’s probably them because our crew will be there, too! NECANN events lure us back to the East Coast every year because the seeds we plant there always seem to bloom into future success.
We aren’t alone. Exhibitors and attendees alike leave rave reviews after each NECANN event because the bang for your buck can be game-changing when you shake the right hand at the show–or pass the right joint at an after-party!
