How your cannabis business can make a deal at MJBizCon

There are dozens of ways for cannabis business executives to make deals at MJBizCon this week.

Those who want to leave the world's biggest cannabis business event with leads and fruitful relationships should come with a game plan but also be prepared to be flexible when unexpected opportunities arise, according to executives who've sealed business deals at MJBizCon.

Having "unstructured, unscheduled, uncommitted time at the show" is critical, said Kim Sanchez Rael, the CEO of Azuca, a New York-based company that develops rapid-release solutions, emulsions, activators and other products for cannabis edibles and beverages.

"What's most helpful for me are those serendipitous moments," she said.

Other important tips for entrepreneurs and executives seeking deals and connections at MJBizCon include:

Market your presence at MJBizCon ahead of the show.
Take advantage of mixers and after-parties for networking.
Vet potential partners you meet.
Working the show floor

As a solutions provider to the cannabis consumables sector, Azuca puts high importance on exhibiting on the show floor in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

"When you are a B2B provider, it helps to be present on the floor - not just walk the floor; that has been a good ROI for us," Sanchez Rael said.

"It's obviously a lot of work and heavy lift, but it's worth it." Read story >
