MJ Unpacked: Bringing the Best of the Bud to the Table

MJ Unpacked is the premier event for cannabis retail and brand executives, offering a platform for hundreds of CPG brands to connect and collaborate with retailers, manufacturers, and investors. It was truly inspiring to witness the innovation, passion, and love for the cannabis plant at each booth and speaking session. Being a part of such a vibrant and dynamic community dedicated to spreading awareness and making a positive impact on the world through the power of cannabis was an honor.

A crucial aspect of cannabis conferences is the events that take place after the expo. Attending MJ Unpacked is essential, as it provides opportunities to meet new people, discover products and brands, and spark creative ideas while naturally connecting with others.

However, the after-events allow for fostering individual relationships while simultaneously making an overall impression on attendees. These gatherings serve as occasions for observing competitors, potential partners, investors, and friends – whatever you seek, you may find it.

Puff, Pass, & Partners: Conference After-Party Events

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, PufCreativ hosted, sponsored, promoted, and participated in numerous events, raising thousands of dollars for various worthy causes. As the world gradually reopens, we were eager to return to organizing events that align with our commitment to community social responsibility, promoting genuine connections, and fostering education and inclusivity in the cannabis industry.

At #PufCreativ, we believe that social media, when used effectively, can have a significant positive impact on the cannabis industry by connecting people and building relationships.

Our expertise in social listening allows us to monitor social media conversations, gain valuable insights into audience interests and needs, and make data-driven decisions to enhance our events’ impact.

We were thrilled to be working with our colleagues and partners to put together two very successful events after #MJUnpacked. These events allowed us to demonstrate our dedication to promoting the original purposes of social media and cannabis and using these platforms to create a brighter future for the industry and the world.
