MJBizCon in partnership with Poseidon, IgniteIt, and The Talman Group, introduce MJBizCon’s Investment & Liquidity Summit, taking place on Tuesday, December 1 in Las Vegas.
Built for serious operators and investors pursuing acquisitions, liquidity, or capital deployment, the Summit delivers expert panels, real cannabis M&A case studies, and The VC & CEO Mixer, a curated networking event where introductions quickly turn into opportunities. This is where cannabis capital meets the market, and where the deals that define the next cycle begin.
“Cannabis is at an inflection point. Shifting regulations, tighter access to capital, and a wave of consolidation are rewriting the rules for everyone holding equity in this market,” says Harrison Radie, Vice President, Commercial & Market Leader, MJBizCon. “For investors and operators alike, the difference between a strong exit and a missed opportunity now comes down to timing, intelligence, and the right relationships. The Investment & Liquidity Summit is built for investors making those calls.”
This new addition to the MJBizCon line up of pre-con events brings together pre-qualified professional investors, cannabis CEOs, founders, and deal architects to navigate M&A, valuation, exits, and the consolidation reshaping the industry.
“Cannabis is entering the most important transition period in its history. Rescheduling is reshaping the deal landscape, and for the first time in years the M&A conversation and the policy conversation are converging in the same room. That is what the Investment and Liquidity Summit is designed to capture: two panels, one afternoon, and the leaders actually building the exits. Then those conversations move into the evening at The VC & CEO Mixer, where the intelligence becomes actionable. If you want to understand where cannabis capital moves next, this is the room,” Patrick Rea, Managing Director, Poseidon.
“The emerging legal cannabis industry has gone global, and as new markets come online around the world and established markets continue to mature, the investing landscape is evolving. Due diligence, networking, and establishing relationships with the right industry members are paramount. Investors must adapt their strategies to ensure that they are identifying potentially lucrative opportunities as quickly and efficiently as possible, especially in Europe. Otherwise, they will miss out, and likely waste a bunch of valuable time and resources in the process,” said Alex Rogers, CEO, The Talman Group and ICBC.
All Investment & Liquidity Summit attendees receive an exclusive invitation to The VC & CEO Mixer, hosted by Poseidon.

AGENDA
Chairman’s Welcome & Opening Remarks
Cannabis Exits & Liquidity: Case Studies
What can we learn from some of the most recent M&A transactions in the cannabis industry? Valuation, structure, scale, and synergies often dominate the headlines, but what can the founders, CEOs, and deal architects behind several of the most strategic transactions of the past year teach us about preparing for and executing an exit in cannabis?
International State of the Union
State of the Industry — Rescheduling
Cannabis rescheduling is reshaping the entire industry, and this session breaks down exactly what it means for operators and investors. Our expert panel will unpack the real implications for cannabis taxation, banking and capital formation, separating what federal cannabis reform actually solves from what it doesn’t. You’ll gain the insights cannabis operators and investors need to navigate a rapidly changing federal landscape and act with confidence.
Closing Remarks
The VC & CEO Mixer, hosted by Poseidon
The VC & CEO Mixer is an invite only, no +1s, casual networking event for cannabis investors, CEOs, founders, licensed operators, brands, and industry leaders. The Mixer is intentionally curated to foster genuine connections among decision makers in the cannabis industry.

The industry benefits when organizations work together to create spaces where industry participants can share ideas, build relationships, and unlock new opportunities.
