Business Information & Events Powering The Cannabis Industry Since 2011
Overview
MJBiz is the most trusted media brand serving the business side of the cannabis and hemp industries in the US, Canada and globally.
Our attendees and readers are businesspeople, such as company founders, executives, technical specialists and private equity leaders. (We are not a lifestyle brand – but rather a professional brand.)
Every business day, MJBiz’ team of journalists bring you the latest stories and data for the industry. Enjoy our exclusive information on your choice of platform – we publish on web, social media, email, podcast and even a print magazine.
Early each year, MJBiz’ latest Factbooks come out – one each for Cannabis and Hemp – featuring benchmark data and background information on the industries.
Each fall, the entire cannabis industry – from the newest entrepreneurs to nationwide brands – gathers at MJBizCon where a huge portion of the industry’s business deals and partnerships are formed on our Expo floor and at our networking events.
If you are not reading MJBiz news and and attending MJBizCon, you are not serious about being in cannabis.
Company History
Founded in 2011 by two women with business media backgrounds, MJBiz’s goal was to bring the newly emerging legal cannabis industry the practical information and professional networking it needed to bloom into the $100 billion industry it is today.
At first the going was tough because cannabis was seen as too alternative for serious business. Our only competitor folded. Our first MJBizCon had just barely over 400 attendees. Then, in 2012 Colorado and Washington State voted to legalize recreational sales, and the industry rapidly developed.
By 2016, we were listed in the Inc 500 as one of the fastest growing, privately-held companies in America. By 2019, nearly 35,000 paying attendees networked with over 1,200 exhibitors at MJBizCon.
In 2021, we are one of the most anticipated trade shows of the immediate post-pandemic era and our readership topped six million as entrepreneurs and business executives across the US and Canada consider getting into the booming cannabis industry.
