About MJBizCon
MJBizCon, the Marijuana Business Conference & Expo, takes over the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center from Tuesday 1 to Friday 4 December 2026.
Founded in 2011, when the first conference in Denver drew 400 professionals, it is now the business to business show for the legal cannabis and hemp industry: an expo hall of 800+ exhibitors in neighbourhoods for cultivation, processing and packaging, retail and brands and business services, three days of conference sessions with 200+ speakers, and pre show certifications, Associations Day and an investment summit on the Tuesday.
The organiser counts 20,000+ cannabis professionals at the show. Entry is by paid pass only, and no one under 18 is admitted. The convention center sits off the north end of the Strip, linked to Resorts World and Westgate by the Vegas Loop, so for MJBizCon hotels many visitors stay at Resorts World, the organiser's featured hotel, Westgate or the Convention Center District.
This page shows live hotel rates across Las Vegas for your dates; your show pass comes from the organiser and is separate from your hotel booking.
Who attends
Cannabis and hemp business people: cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, investors and service providers. Entry is by paid pass and no one under 18 is admitted.
