Take the Stage.
Shape the Future.

MJ Cultivate, a cultivator conference, is the event built for the people who grow, manufacture, process, and produce cannabis. We’re looking for speakers who’ve done the work, not just talked about it.

Unlike broad industry events where your session competes with retail trends, brand strategy, and policy panels for attention, every attendee is a licensed operator responsible for production.

When you speak here, you’re not hoping the right people wander into your session. You know they did.

Deadline to Submit: 1/14/27

Why Speak at a MJ Cultivate?

A focused agenda,

not a buried time slot.

Fewer competing tracks means attendees aren’t choosing between you and five other sessions happening at the same time.

A founding voice

in a rising platform

As an early, function-specific event, speaking now means becoming associated with MJ Cultivate before it’s an established fixture.

Who We're Looking For

We want speakers with real, applied expertise in the production side of the industry — people who’ve lived the problem, not just studied it.

Strong cultivator conference submissions come from:

Licensed operators and executives with hands-on cultivation, manufacturing, extraction, or processing experience

Technical experts in yield optimization, extraction methods, automation, or facility design

Compliance and QA leaders who can speak to production-side regulatory realities

 

Technology and equipment providers with genuine operational insight to share — not a product pitch

Operators who’ve solved a hard, specific problem — scaling a grow, cutting extraction costs, passing a compliance audit — and can walk the room through how

We’re not looking for retail strategy, brand marketing, or sales-enablement content — that’s the focus of our sister event, MJ Unpacked.

MJ Cultivate is exclusively for the production side of the business.

No Pay to Play, Just Shared Wisdom

Session formats include solo talks, panel discussions, and case-study walkthroughs. Sessions should focus on practical, applicable takeaways. Attendees want tactics they can use in their own facility, not high-level theory. Product pitches disguised as sessions will not be accepted; if your company has a story to tell, tell it through what you’ve learned, not what you sell.

Ready to Take the Stage?

MJ Cultivate is built for the operators who make cannabis — not the ones who sell it. If you’ve got real expertise in cultivation, manufacturing, processing, or production, we want to hear from you!
