The 2025 Emjays Awards Presented by Green Rebates wWhere Cannabis Culture Meets Red Carpet Reality — and the Night Unfolds Inside The Orchid Suite
Every industry has its night — that one evening when it steps out of the grind and celebrates the people who built it. For cannabis, that night is The Emjays.
On Thursday, December 4, 2025, under the glow of Las Vegas lights and the global buzz of MJBizCon, The Emjays return to honor the pioneers, brands, creatives, and changemakers shaping the future of the cannabis space. Hosted at The Industrial, the ceremony celebrates excellence across media, design, technology, advocacy, and more. The Emjays is a black-tie moment where cannabis takes center stage.
This year, The Emjays Awards ceremony is an invite-only event exclusively for nominees and their guests, creating an intimate, elevated experience to celebrate those at the forefront of the industry. During the ceremony, doors to The Orchid Suite will be open for guests to enjoy the atmosphere, cocktails, and activations while the awards are underway. Once the ceremony concludes, the space transforms into the official afterparty - The Orchid Suite - where guests can enjoy the atmosphere, cocktails, sponsor activations and premium networking. honey@honeysucklemag.com
🌸 The Orchid Suite: Where the Real Party Begins
When the applause fades, the celebration continues and the doors fully open to The Orchid Suite, the official Emjays afterparty. From 8:00 p.m. to midnight, the energy will shift into an immersive world of music, inventive activations, and connection.
The Orchid Suite blends elegance and atmosphere, where C-suite executives, founders, artists, and innovators gather to unwind, network, and dance the night away.
This year’s Title Sponsor - Green Rebates - is supplying the vibes with an outdoor lounge complete with groovy couches and interactive games with prizes up for grabs. And to top it all off, there will be a live performance by Green Rebates’ own Free Money (formerly known as Emoney), bringing the energy full circle.
It’s where deals are made, friendships are forged, and the cannabis community reconnects after another milestone year. The Orchid Suite isn’t just an afterparty - it’s the heartbeat of the night.
🏆 The Meaning Behind the Moment
The Emjays are more than awards, they’re a statement. A recognition of integrity, innovation, and authenticity across every facet of cannabis culture. They celebrate the people and companies who’ve elevated the industry from the inside out, proving that cannabis is not just an emerging market but a cultural force.
In an industry built on authenticity, The Emjays and The Orchid Suite together represent the full spectrum of celebration - from recognition to release, from excellence to experience. Because in the end, this isn’t just an awards show or a party. It’s a reflection of how far the cannabis industry has come and how beautiful the future can be.
As Dave Valese of HoneyProjects once said, “Cannabis culture isn’t built by corporations; it’s built by people who care.” The Emjays are where those people come together.
