New MJBowl States Incoming 🏆

After an incredible debut last year, the MJBowl is coming back and it's bigger than ever!

What started as the first ever bi-coastal cannabis competition was such a standout success that we're expanding to new states for 2026.

This year, the stakes are even higher, with elevated standards in quality, innovation, and overall effect. New states, new products, new competition, and a chance to prove who truly stands out — this is where the best of the best get national notoriety.

Strategic Partnerships to Grow Your Business 🌱

We're thrilled to announce our 2026 partnership with Grow World! Together we're bringing even more qualified buyers and new faces across cultivation, manufacturing, processing/packaging/distribution, retail & brands, and beyond — enhancing the connections that make MJBizCon the industry's most powerful marketplace. If you attend the show to find new partners and drive growth, 2026 just raised the bar.
