Pre-Show Guide: Fall 2015 From the Publisher

I love trade shows. They’re the single most powerful tool for emerging individuals, companies, and markets to achieve their goals. Business is about relationships, and relationships are forged via in-person interactions, particularly those with a critical mass of like-minded individuals, enterprises and content. And I love competition. The founders of Business Daily stand by the premise that if your business doesn’t have a competitor, then you likely don’t have a customer base either. As of my last count, there will be 31 cannabis-related B2B trade shows held in 2015: proof indeed that there is a driving industry need for quality in-person meetings of minds. However, when events over-promise in their marketing or execute poorly, they are very damaging for the industry as a whole. It creates a negative industry perception with media and newcomers, it bleeds critical cash with no return on investment for exhibiting companies and attendees, and it causes a general devaluation of face-to-face events. The ongoing success of the Marijuana Business Conference & Expo depends on delivering a successful return on investment to the exhibitors and attendees. Here’s why it’s the one true national industry event: • It’s the longest running national event, launched in 2012 with significant growth in attendance each year (see growth stats on the next page). • The conference program is controlled entirely by the industry-leading editorial team behind Marijuana Business Daily, Marijuana Business Magazine and the Marijuana Business Factbook – a team with deep insights and long experience to highly curate sessions, invite the best speakers, and enforce a strict no-commercialization policy. • The audience is comprised of the true professionals of the , proven by their daily readership and investment in quality research data reports. Our audience reach does not engage patients and consumers. • We deliver high-level keynotes from business thought-leaders such as Ben Cohen, Steven Levitt, and Ralph Nader – not talk show hosts and singers. • We constantly innovate, introducing new programming such as our Marijuana Business Crash Course and the Pitch Slam. This year, check out Industry Celebration & Benefit Event: a unique- to-the-industry engagement of business and advocacy. See details on page 15. But you don’t have to take my word for it – for any of this. Ask any of the 200+ exhibitors who will pack the expo floor (see the full list on page 13 of this pre-show guide.) Talk to any of last year’s 3,214 delegates. The pages of this pre-show guide are filled with hard facts, details and specifics – not vague promises – on why you need to be there. The Marijuana Business Conference & Expo doesn’t sell hype. We deliver results. See you in Las Vegas!
