Vermont Cannabis & Hemp Convention

New England’s largest cannabis convention arrives in Burlington for first time May 12-13, 2018 at the DoubleTree by Hilton for two full days of exhibitions, educational seminars, and speakers related to medical marijuana, industrial hemp, CBD wellness products, and the ever-growing New England cannabis industry.
New England Cannabis Conventions and Heady Vermont, along with Vermont Cannabis Solutions and Greener Mountain Consulting, have teamed up to produce the first-ever cannabis convention in the state.
The event itself will take center stage in Burlington at the DoubleTree by Hilton (formerly the Sheraton) from May 12-13 and will include 65+ exhibitors and vendors from all over New England, including CBD products, medical marijuana dispensaries, patients, and caregivers, home cultivation suppliers, advocacy groups, and a wide range of additional ancillary businesses related to the cannabis plant and industry. The 65+ exhibitors are located inside the Exhibition Hall, and main programming takes place directly across in the Amphitheater all day both days. Outside the Exhibition Hall in the parking lot, we’ll have Bern Gallery doing live glassblowing demos, as well as local food trucks, on both days.
