The Business of Cannabis: New York — Where Connection Meets Momentum
Brooklyn’s Wythe Hotel buzzed with conversation last week as the cannabis industry’s brightest minds gathered for Business of Cannabis: New York. The annual event once again proved why it’s become one of the East Coast’s most essential meeting points for leaders, innovators, and visionaries shaping the future of the plant.
From the morning’s packed roundtables to the afternoon’s speaker sessions, the day overflowed with exchange—ideas, insights, and collaboration at every turn. Conversations moved easily from policy to retail innovation, brand storytelling to supply chain strategy, reflecting the breadth and maturity of New York’s rapidly evolving market.
What stood out most was the atmosphere: focused yet vibrant, intimate yet charged with ambition. Each panel built upon the last, weaving a picture of an industry that’s no longer waiting for its moment—it’s creating it. Attendees shared both the challenges and the triumphs of building in a complex regulatory environment while finding unity in a shared purpose: to normalize, professionalize, and elevate cannabis culture.
As the day drew to a close, connections formed over coffee and after-hours conversations promised future collaborations. That spark of shared drive—the sense that everyone in the room was building something bigger than themselves—was unmistakable.
The Business of Cannabis: New York continues to grow not only as an event but as a movement. Its greatest impact lies in the relationships it fosters and the progress it propels long after the day ends.
We’re already looking forward to next year—more conversations, more innovation, and more reasons to believe in the business of cannabis.
