New England Cannabis Conventions will be hosting the first-ever expo for the Medical Marijuana Industry in Massachusetts on January 31st and February 1st 2015. This consumer-focused event will be open to the public and feature a showcase of industry related businesses such as hydroponics and smoking accessories, educational institutions, and advocacy groups. There will also be a full schedule of workshops & seminar programming both days.
The show will be open to the public (legal ID proving age of 18+ required to enter), with a $20 admission on the day of show. A limited number of tickets will be made available for $15 via an online pre-sale at noon this Friday (August 29th) at digboston.com/deals/tickets/NECC/. This event will kick off NECC’s schedule of four conventions in 2015, including shows at the Providence Convention Center April 4th & 5th, The Portland (ME) Expo Center June 6th & 7th, and a return to Boston in September. Future plans include shows in Manchester (NH), Burlington, (VT), and Worcester, (MA).
“After many discussions about the lack of established resource hubs for the rapidly expanding Medical Marijuana industry in New England, we decided these events were overdue”, said Marc Shepard, co-founder & President of NECC. “Our goal is to provide arenas where patients, advocates, businesses, educators, and consumers can connect”.
New England Cannabis Conventions was created by Jeff Lawrence & Marc Shepard, 2 veterans of the local Alt-Weekly industry with long histories of successful event Creation. Jeff is the Founder, owner, and President of Dig Publishing. Marc is the Associate Publisher of Dig Boston & VP of Sales for Dig Publishing.
