The event combines a focused business environment with networking, food, music, speaker sessions, and after-parties. Its two-day format is designed to help exhibitors connect with retail decision-makers and other professionals in New York’s cannabis market.

Brands Meet Buyers

Flower Expo focuses on plant-touching cannabis operators, licensed dispensaries, and selected ancillary brands. The event provides opportunities to develop business relationships, introduce products, meet prospective customers, and build connections across the cannabis supply chain.

• Day 1 — March 31: Retailer-focused day for approved retail decision-makers.
• Day 2 — April 1: Includes budtenders from across the state, along with access to the trade show floor and SESHES speaker panels.
