“The magic of MJBizCon really is its convening power. I’m most excited to see all the different people from various places and parts of the industry come together. It’s like all roads lead to the end of the year in Vegas.”

“To have everything and everyone in one place makes it incredibly convenient. I had conversations with people I wouldn’t get a chance to interface with normally. It’s priceless.”
DENISE MINK

“If we hadn’t been so motivated during MJBizCon and I didn’t meet, speak and listen to so many simply amazing speakers, we never would have started the changes that ended up saving us. We are not just surviving … we are thriving!”
