Apollo Signs $1.5B Deal for MJBizCon Parent Emerald Holding
In a move that signals massive consolidation in the B2B events space, Apollo Global Management has agreed to acquire Emerald Holding Inc. — parent company of MJBizCon — in a $1.5-billion all-cash deal. The transaction will take the publicly traded Emerald private, merging its portfolio with Questex LLC to create a unified experiential media platform. While the deal reflects Apollo’s broader interest in specialized markets rather than a specific cannabis play, the shift raises critical questions about the future of the industry’s largest trade show. Will MJBizCon thrive under new institutional ownership, or drift within a larger, more diverse portfolio?
