ST. LOUIS — MJ Unpacked, the nation’s only cannabis industry trade event with exclusive attendance for licensed operators, researchers, and investors, will make its next stop at the Union Station Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri on November 5-7, 2024. Online registration for the event is open now and an on-site registration will take place on Monday, November 4 from 5 to 7 p.m.
Tapping into the burgeoning Missouri cannabis market and bringing together experts from around the nation, MJ Unpacked St. Louis will feature three days of unique insights from operators, investors, researchers, and other high-level industry experts. The event includes two days of exclusive conference programming with a distinct Brand & Retail Track, Cultivation & Science Track, and Investment & Finance Track; two days of a Brand Experience Hall; Ask the Experts roundtable discussions; networking breakfasts and lunches; opening and closing night receptions; and an official after-party.
