Cannabis Means Business (CMB) is a new vision for the show previously run as CWCBExpo. Taking place June 4-5, 2025, at the Javits Center in New York, this transformation to CMB reflects the organization’s recognition of the cannabis sector’s evolution.
CMB–New York Global Edition will feature a range of topics that emphasize the integration of cannabis into mainstream business practices. The event will foster an environment where industry professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and key stakeholders can connect and learn about New York’s growing influence as a global cannabis hub.
“More than 10 years ago, CWCBExpo was a pioneer in championing the New York market when it started the first annual cannabis business trade show at the Javits Center. This transformation into Cannabis Means Business (CMB) underscores the importance of this key market, marked by growing consumer demand, an inclusive regulatory framework, international access and the potential for incredible growth,” said Christine Ianuzzi, CEO of CMB, in a statement.

With this upgrade, CMB attendees can expect a greater array of educational sessions, workshops and networking opportunities designed to address the complexities of operating within the regional, national and global cannabis marketplace, according to CMB. Topics will include market trends, investment strategies, global opportunities, regulatory frameworks and innovative business models that are shaping the industry.
The Cannabis Means Business conference will also highlight successful case studies and best practices from both cannabis-specific companies and traditional businesses that have integrated cannabis into their ecosystem, according to CMB.
“As the cannabis industry continues to grow and evolve, the transition from CWCBExpo to Cannabis Means Business reflects our commitment to advancing the conversation around the global cannabis supply chain. This focus aims to empower and equip attendees with the tools, resources, and knowledge necessary to thrive in an increasingly competitive and international market,” said Jennifer Hoff, president of Taffy Event Strategies, in a statement.
