As the cannabis industry continues to evolve at lightning speed, the
Cannabis Means Business (CMB) expo is carving out its place as the
definitive event for professionals who want to stay ahead of the curve.

Taking place this June in the heart of New York City, CMB offers more than
just a trade show—it’s a full-scale experience for entrepreneurs,
executives, investors, advocates and innovators determined to shape the
future of cannabis.
*What Sets CMB Apart*

CMB isn’t your typical cannabis expo. The event blends high-level
education, powerful networking and immersive brand activations, creating an
environment where meaningful connections and deals happen. Let’s take a
closer look at what you can expect when attending the Cannabis Means
Business expo:

1. *Curated Conference Sessions*: The CMB conference program is designed
to challenge, inform and inspire. Attendees will hear from top industry
leaders, policymakers, legacy operators and trailblazing entrepreneurs.
Topics range from regulation and social equity to investment strategy,
retail innovation and product development.


2. *Whoopi Goldberg Live Fireside Chat:* One of the most anticipated
moments at CMB is the live fireside chat with cultural icon and cannabis
advocate *Whoopi Goldberg*, joined by CNBC’s *Tim Seymour*. Whoopi will
share her personal journey, insights into the cannabis space, and her
latest venture. This is a rare opportunity for attendees to hear from one
of the cannabis industry’s most passionate and recognizable voices.
3. *Dynamic Networking Events*: From the lively B2B Rooftop Bash
featuring the iconic NORML FORML, to the exclusive O2VAPE Industry Yacht
Party cruising the Hudson, CMB’s networking events are as powerful as its
business programming. These events offer a more relaxed setting to build
real relationships, spark partnerships and celebrate the community.
4. *The Women’s Entrepreneur Luncheon*: CMB continues to uplift the
voices and leadership of women in cannabis with this dedicated gathering
focused on connection, storytelling and visibility.
5. *Immersive Floor Activations*: The exhibit hall is not only a
