Our signature event, and one of several ways the community gathers. A morning of bagels, coffee and conversation held alongside major cannabis conferences, built for the people who would rather meet over a schmear than shout over a booth.
Every trade show already has a party circuit. By the second night, the rooms are loud, the conversations are short and nobody remembers who they met. The morning is different. People are rested, curious and still planning their day, which makes it the best hour of the conference to make a real introduction.
So we feed them. Bagels and schmear, coffee, and a room with enough space to move around. Some Bashes include a few words from a host, a sponsor or a special guest, and some are pure schmoozing. Either way, the point is to talk.
Loud in the best way. Someone will hand you a coffee before you find the name tags. You will hear Yiddish from people who do not speak Yiddish, meet at least one person who knows your cousin, and leave with a list of people to find on the floor. Press who have covered the Bash describe the same thing: a room that is joyful and authentic, and buzzing before the show even starts. See for yourself in the 2026 recaps from Ventura, Boston and Chicago.

The Long Island edition was a partnership with the Long Island Capital Alliance.

Early. Most Bashes open around 8 AM on a conference morning and wrap before the exhibit hall opens. The Long Island Capital Alliance edition ran from 8 to 11 AM, and Hall of Flowers NYC runs from 8 to 10 AM.
