A Look Back at the First MJ Unpacked Missouri
By: Macey Wolfer, Public Relations Specialist, Proven Media
Now that the most recent MJ Unpacked is behind us and we’ve had some time to rest and relax over the Thanksgiving holiday, the MJ Unpacked team is gearing up for our next event. Before we dive into the ins and outs of MJ Unpacked Atlantic City 2025, we want to take some time to look back at the accomplishments of our first-ever Missouri event. From amazing brand booths and adoptable puppies on the floor to the robust conference programming, there’s a lot to celebrate.
Taking care of business
While the MJ Unpacked team was busy running around for three days talking with attendees, staff, and press, there were plenty of opportunities to take a deep breath and tune into our surroundings. Each time the team took a moment to observe, we heard the great sounds of business getting done.
During the opening night reception, old connections were reformed and new ones blossomed. Attendees were eager to chat with other experts knowing that the room was highly curated and focused on the art of making deals happen.
We even had one brand tell us that they did more business in the first two hours of the event than they’ve ever done at other multi-day conferences. This underscored our commitment to curating events that allow for meaningful accomplishments.
High level programming
The conference programming at our Missouri event was in-depth and valuable. The first day kicked off with conversations about the coexistence of cannabis and hemp industries, cannabinoid chemistry, and growth trends and drivers for the US cannabis market. The conversations were aimed at those entrenched in the industry seeking meaningful insights and conversations to push the industry forward in a positive direction.
Other panel discussions and presentations included deep dives into crucial concerns around safety standards and regulations, data on the Missouri cannabis market, the impact of women in the industry, and expert insights into capital investments in cannabis.
VIP Appreciation
All speakers at MJ Unpacked are considered VIPS, as are sponsors and key investors. After all, we couldn’t do it without the help and support of so many dynamic people and companies. To show our appreciation, we put together VIP boxes to celebrate the people who make MJ Unpacked happen.
This event’s VIP boxes were sponsored by Blue Sage Deli, the official dispensary partner of MJ Unpacked Missouri 2024. Each box was jam packed with innovative products showing off just a sliver of the great cannabis the Missouri market has to offer. We had so many VIP box recipients return to tell us that they loved the package and all of the contents and plan to put together more gifts to show our appreciation at our upcoming events.
Some of our amazing sponsors included Azuca, Missouri-based Show-Me Organics, Timeless Vapes, Dabstract, Sinse Cannabis, PayPro, Athena, and Proper Brands.
MJ Unpacked Atlantic City
Needless to say, MJ Unpacked Missouri 2024 was a great event. We look forward to returning to the Show-Me State at the St. Louis Union Station Hotel on September 3-5, 2025.
Before we head back to Missouri, MJ Unpacked will return to Atlantic City at the Hard Rock Hotel on April 29 through May 1, 2025. Our last Atlantic City event was a must-attend, so don’t miss out!
