This year's Ganjier graduation ceremony awarded cannabis professionals with the Product Specialist Training certification — solidifying MJBizCon as the premier platform for education and networking within the cannabis industry.

This product and connoisseurship training program is designed to provide advanced knowledge of today's cannabis products, a proven framework for how to assess quality, and a detailed understanding of how to properly consume for maximum effectiveness and enjoyment.

The inaugural MJBowl brought together top producers from California and New York—from legacy cultivators to multi-state operators. Judges, competitors, and attendees gathered at MJBizCon to recognize quality cannabis from coast-to-coast. Their major takeaway? A newfound sense of excitement and purpose to provide the best products possible for customers and our community.

Special thank you to the esteemed California and New York judges for sharing their expertise, and our MJBowl Partners — Budist, Nabis, Gotham, and The Artist Tree.
