The Real Cannabis Entrepreneur Conference is the ONLY event focused on providing progressive business owners, investors and opportunity seekers with real life how-to information about breaking into the cannabis industry.
No theory, state of the industry or policy based topics, just practical how-to instruction delivered by experienced cannabis professionals who've been there and done that!
We had 22+ of the top Cannabis & CBD PIONEERS fly in from across the globe in 2019 to speak to a sold out crowd of 500+ attendees, 28+ sponsors & an array of journalists.
In 2021, our live show returned with a vengeance with a sold out crowd of 1,000+ attendees! 2022 was even bigger forcing us to upgrade to largest ballroom in NJ.
Many of our attendees said they learned more at our event in 2-days, than they did in months at pricey universities and learning facilities.

The Real Cannabis Entrepreneur Conference was created by us :) Husband and wife team, after spending years traveling the country, attending cannabis events, cannabis conferences, conventions and seminars to find the specifichow-to information on breaking into the industry.
After many years and dollars spent we realized most conferences were riddled with state of the industry, regulatory and legislative conversations, which although important fails to deliver the down and dirty blueprint that we were looking for to get started NOW!
We're serial entrepreneurs and own an event planning company so we understands the value of investing in mentors, but after realizing most cannabis conferences only covered surface level topics, we decided to CREATE THE SOLUTION to our own problem.
Our mission is to help level the playing field and the empower the underserved by providing information and guidance needed to tap into one of the biggest and fasting growing industries on the planet.
