When CannaCon held its first trade show, the legal marijuana market in the U.S. hovered around $2 billion. Fast forward seven years and the market has more than quadrupled. And, some estimates now peg the sales of legal weed in the U.S. to hit $41 billion by 2025.

I’d say CannaCon is on to something.

Billed as its flagship expo, CannaCon Northwest is back in Tacoma on January 10-11. As the nation’s leading business-to-business cannabis conference, Tacoma is just the first stop on the 2020 tour. Other expos in cannabis hotspots around the country include Detroit, Chicago and Oklahoma City.

Back in Tacoma, thousands of cannabis enthusiast will mingle with exhibitors, growers and industry experts. As part of the global marketplace, CannaCon offers up a host of workshops to help navigate your way through the burgeoning cannabis industry.

From back end, to cultivation, to marketing, the Northwest seminars are led by industry experts from across the U.S., including:
