What was the most interesting thing you heard at MJBizCon?

Attendance and enthusiasm at the show, all time low in my experience.

GLG BizCon parties were the largest and most successful to date. Had quite a few people tell me they didn’t go to the conference, just came to Vegas to network.

Felt like a lot of people were there for their last big hurrah in Cannabis…

The 12,870 includes all tickets issued to vendors as well. Not isolated visitors who aren’t exhibiting.

They didn’t scan vendor passes at the doors for entry to the show at all. I’m sure they have metrics for daily attendance.

Are you saying the 12,800 is for vendors only?

I attended first day only and heard the remainder were slower. The ticket sales lists they claim to sell every year always includes exhibitors. Even if you claim they didn’t scan them.

I’m sure you can break it down with some basic math and divisors that would give you a average day to hour attendance line for checking in for passes. There’s no way that’s correct. Think about it. And the only time the entry area was packed was in the first hour +/- on day one. I don’t know how packed the entry was or wasn’t on other days.

Sounds like next year will be even smaller. Bet Champs grows because the consumer side is stronger than ever, the supplier side is what’s balancing out (trimming the fat)

100% that is a scam. MJBIZ doesn’t sell this info. I get about 10 of those emails a day, all scams. FYI

hmmm. Selling lists of attendees to tradeshows is absolutely a thing. I know companies who have bought the lists previously and they seemed legit. What makes you say this, in particular, is a scam?

Just checked in with MJBiz official. Charles is right per usual. MJBiz doesn’t sell their attendee list.

Great discussion. I was on ICmag way back when and was pretty active. It’s extremely important to somehow download and save all those threads with GW and others discussing this ~2012. It was all open source. We cannot let dipshits like Drew Jones (Mr Extractor and Mr Vitamin E Acetate) make money of all our hard work and collaboration. These dudes need to be effin buried like the dude found in the barell in Lake Mead.

Not trying to brag, but this is my thread from ICmag in 2012:

What a trip down memory lane reading all those old threads.

Here’s another one of my threads.

Seems like GW would be a great expert witness in these proceedings, if he’s willing. I know we all thought, at least some of us, that making this open source and in the public domain would prevent this kind of patent trolling that’s going on right now.

We had over 600 people through the house over 4 different events. I saw a little bit of cocaine use, more ketamine, and an overwhelming amount of fungi and cannabis use

I think as long as it’s not crack, meth, or
Heroin. It’s all fair game. And we shouldn’t really drug shame. Who know what drugs will be legal in 20 years. :rofl::joy::rofl:

Edit…. My bad. This probably hits home for some here. :flushed:
