2026 Activity Concentration
The strongest concentration of cannabis events falls between April and November, with December's MJBizCon and Champs Las Vegas Winter bookending the year. Key observations from the 2026 calendar:
- NECANN dominates the eastern US regional B2B circuit with four confirmed editions (Boston, MN, NJ, RI)
- Champs anchors smoking accessories trade with three editions across Las Vegas and Chicago
- Lucky Leaf covers emerging Southern markets with three confirmed dates (TX, PA, VA)
- Germany has overtaken the Netherlands and Spain as Europe's cannabis event capital, hosting ICBC Berlin, Mary Jane Berlin, and others
- Bangkok emerged as the Asia-Pacific cannabis events capital with three major events
- November in Latin America is dangerously crowded — ExpoCannabis Brasil and ExpoCannaBiz Colombia share dates (Nov 20–22)
