About NECANN
NECANN (the New England Cannabis Convention) operates the largest regional B2B cannabis convention circuit in the eastern United States. While its name reflects its New England origins, NECANN now hosts events in multiple states across the Northeast and Midwest.
The Boston flagship is NECANN's marquee event, drawing 9,000+ attendees and 300+ exhibitors. The other regional editions serve newer or smaller markets with focused programming for local operators.

What to Expect
- B2B focus with some consumer attendance at the flagship Boston event
- Regional content tailored to each state's regulatory environment
- Cultivation, retail, ancillary services exhibitors across the cannabis supply chain
- Educational sessions covering compliance, business operations, and market trends
- Networking with operators and service providers in each regional market
Why Regional Matters
While national events like MJBizCon dominate the calendar, NECANN's regional model provides something different: state-specific knowledge and connections. For operators serving New England, the Mid-Atlantic, or the Midwest, NECANN's regional editions offer focused content and easier travel than flying to Las Vegas.
