About the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference
The Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference is the industry's premier investment-focused event, connecting cannabis companies seeking capital with accredited investors, fund managers, and institutional capital. Organized by financial media company Benzinga, these events run multiple times per year in cities like Miami, Chicago, and New York.
Unlike general cannabis conferences, Benzinga events are laser-focused on finance and investment. The format typically features company presentations (pitch sessions), panel discussions on capital markets, and structured networking designed to facilitate deal flow.
What Makes It Different
- Investor-centric: The audience includes hedge funds, venture capital, family offices, and private equity — not typical for most cannabis events
- Company presentations: Public and private cannabis companies present their investment thesis directly to potential investors
- Market data: Sessions cover stock performance, M&A activity, and capital market trends specific to cannabis
- Deal-making environment: Structured meetings between companies and investors are a core feature
Who Should Attend
- Cannabis companies seeking growth capital, debt financing, or strategic investment
- Investors evaluating cannabis as an asset class
- Financial analysts and media covering the cannabis sector
- M&A advisors and investment bankers
