The theme for the 2022 show will be ‘Growing The Category’. The 2022 show will focus on helping anyone looking to get into the category learn and develop new products, it will help existing brands expand into other states by meeting other state manufacturers. It will help retailers and distributors develop their store own brands, it will find new ways cannabis beverages can be marketed and sold. It will find new ways cannabis beverages can be developed to grow end consumer market share. 

The 2022 show will focus on increasing the overall category by showcasing exhibitors who can help do that and by creating networking opportunities and focusing on multi-state bottlenecks that are in place. The show will have an international and national focus instead of a state-based focus. This is where multistate operators will come to find synergies and do business with each other and help the category grow.

Cannabis Drinks Expo

Dates and Location:

Chicago: August 2, 2022 - Midwest Conference Centre, 401 W Lake St Northlake, Chicago IL 60164, United States

Since the U.S. cannabis industry is so different on a state-by-state basis, the goal of the Cannabis Drinks Expo is to widen the perspective of participants, enabling them to see how a strategy that has done well in one state might also be used to expand into another state. In the same way, a California winemaker might meet the perfect partner to make a new cannabis drink strategy work.

The premier place to spot these potential business partners will be on the trade show floor of the Cannabis Drinks Expo. During the event, a visitor to this trade show floor will be able to interact directly with brand representatives, distributors and other industry professionals.

NETWORK with fellow professionals

The participants of the Cannabis Drinks Expo will include professionals involved in the development, production, distribution and retailing of cannabis-related drinks products. If you are looking for new partners to enter a new niche or sector, this is the place to be. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet like-minded professionals, all of them united in their commitment to growing the U.S. cannabis industry.

Moreover, you will be able to grow your circle of connections to include political and legal analysts, medical researchers, and brand owners from other industries, especially the alcoholic beverage industry. The connections you walk away with from the Cannabis Drinks Expo could help you launch an important new product category in 2022.

LEARN about new trends and key market forecasts

In addition to the trade show floor, there will be a business conference track to the expo. As part of this conference, leading speakers within the cannabis industry will share their insights and analysis about how to create, grow and develop an exciting new consumer market. Already, the sheer scope of innovation within the cannabis drinks sector has been phenomenal, with everything from energy drinks to infused wines hitting the market.
