Media Day will once again kick off MJBizCon Week on Tuesday, December 1, 2026 at NuWu Cannabis Marketplace in Las Vegas, from 4-7 PM PT. Following the success of the inaugural event in 2025, MJBizCon, the world’s largest B2B cannabis Conference and Expo, will reunite with Beard Bros Media to bring the industry together for Media Day 2026.
Designed to spotlight the people, brands, and stories driving the industry forward, Media Day allows early access for journalists looking to spot trends, discover new brands, and interact with cannabis professionals before the rush of MJBizCon truly begins. This early networking opportunity will feature unique activations, access to innovation awards finalists, short informative presentations and content that can become stories for weeks to come.
Who should attend?
Media: Gain early access to innovation awards finalists, name brand product giveaways, and unique activations and interactive exhibits.
Podcasters: Stream live content, line up interviews for the week, garner soundbites and content for weeks to come.
Brands: Meet with 100+ media members in an intimate setting before the show floor opens, partake in a pitch session and gain insights into what cannabis journalists are working on and looking for.
“After the success of last year’s Media Day, we are applying what we learned to the programming, content opportunities, media mix, brand and exhibitor participation, and the way Media Day connects to the rest of MJBizCon Week,” said Harrison Radie, Vice President, MJBizCon. “Some of those details will be announced as we get closer to December, but the objective is straightforward: preserve what made the first event work while creating more business opportunities to benefit brands, exhibitors, and attendees.”
“What happened after Media Day last year may have be even just as important as what happened in the room,” continued Bill Levers, Co-Founder, Beard Bros Pharms & Media. “Interviews turned into articles and podcasts, panels became clips, introductions became relationships, and people were still publishing and sharing content months later. A few hours together created stories and conversations that carried well beyond Las Vegas.”
We invite cannabis and mainstream media outlets, podcasters, and content creators to apply for participation here. Brands that are interested in activating at NuWu can submit an inquiry here.
MJBizCon 2026 returns to the Las Vegas Convention Center December 1–4, kicking off with Pre-Conference Certifications on Tuesday, December 1. For more information or to register, visit mjbizconference.com.
