Expo

Hall of Flowers Ventura

📍Ventura, California

📅Mar 18, 2026- Mar 19, 2026

Hall of Flowers has redefined what a cannabis B2B event can be, creating an experience that feels more like a curated gallery opening than a traditional trade show. This two-day event in coastal Ventura brings together California's leading cannabis brands with the state's most influential retail buyers in an environment designed for genuine discovery and meaningful business connections. What sets Hall of Flowers apart is its meticulous curation. Rather than cramming hundreds of vendors into a convention hall, the event limits participation to create an intimate, high-quality experience. Brands must meet rigorous standards to exhibit, ensuring buyers encounter only products worthy of their shelf space. The result is an expo where every booth merits attention and every meeting has potential. The brand showcase format allows companies to present their products with the care and context they deserve. Buyers can experience products properly, engage in substantive conversations with brand representatives, and make informed purchasing decisions. For brands, it's an opportunity to tell their story to the exact audience that matters—the buyers who stock California's dispensaries. Programming extends beyond the show floor with thought leadership sessions, trend forecasting, and intimate roundtables addressing the challenges facing California cannabis. The Ventura beach setting provides a stunning backdrop for networking events that extend into golden-hour receptions. For anyone in California cannabis—brand or buyer—Hall of Flowers is where business happens.
