BIG Industry Drops Down in CA With Huge Business Event
Next week the cannabis business world will converge upon the Los Angeles Convention Center with a combination of two major events.
Buyers Industry Guide is bringing its popular BIG Show to to California for the first time Jan. 19-20 and this year the longtime business-to-business show has an interesting new partner, High Times Magazine. Known for hosting cups and smoke outs throughout the nation, High Times has partnered with BIG on a business summit creating a combination of the that promises to be explosive for the cannabis market in California.
According to recent reports from The ArcView Group, regulated marijuana sales in the U.S. reached $6.7 billion in 2016, a figure representing a 30 percent increase from 2015. ArcView projects sales will reach $20.2 billion by the year 2021 and calls cannabis, “arguably the fastest growing industry in the world.”
At events like BIG, attendees are able to make direct connections with manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers to advance their business. The Los Angeles BIG Show includes some major names including Crop King Seeds, Weedmaps and Dime Bags. Also included in the show is a glass art galleria exhibition.
And here’s the hot tip about the event. Tickets to the BIG Show are free and, while pre-registration is definitely recommended, will also be available onsite. These tickets will get you access to the entire showroom floor, the High Times trade show booths included, and you can upgrade onsite to also be included in the seminar portion of the event. If you feel you can skip the seminars, free registration with the BIG Show will get you into all the action. That means over 400 cannabis exhibitors (and a whole lot of people who love cannabis) are accessible at no cost to those who decide to join in. We’ll see you in LA.
