Which conferences does Jews in Weed attend?

Our calendar follows the industry. In 2026 that meant Hall of Flowers in California, NECANN in Boston, MJ Unpacked and the New Jersey High Times Cannabis Cup in Atlantic City, IgniteIt in Chicago and the Long Island Capital Alliance in Melville. In 2025 the community was part of the MJBizCon party circuit in Las Vegas, and we have celebrated Hanukkah together every year since 2023, from the THC NYC museum to a 2025 pre-Hanukkah party with Matisyahu at a Westchester dispensary, along with Purim at Torches NYC.

Every Bash is timed so you can walk from breakfast to the show floor. The Hall of Flowers NYC edition, for example, runs from 8 to 10 AM. Here is how a typical Bash works.
