Connecting, Collaborating, and Growing: StashStock's Q1 2025 Cannabis Event Recap

Katharine Baxter • April 12, 2025
As we close out the first quarter of 2025, we’re reflecting on an incredibly busy and impactful start to the year. Q1 brought us to several high-value cannabis industry events, where we had the chance to connect with cultivators, retailers, investors, regulators, and advocates who are shaping the next chapter of the industry. From exhibiting our solutions to engaging in meaningful conversations, each event offered valuable opportunities to learn, share, and grow. Here’s a recap of where we’ve been and what we took away.

Lucky Leaf Minnesota (February 28 – March 1 | Minneapolis, MN)

We kicked off our Q1 event tour in Minneapolis for Lucky Leaf Minnesota, diving into conversations with cannabis operators and ancillary businesses eager to thrive in Minnesota’s emerging adult-use market. With the state preparing to launch, the buzz on the show floor was real. You could feel the enthusiasm in every conversation—and we were thrilled to be part of these early days.

Benzinga Cannabis Market Spotlight: New Jersey (March 4 | Somerset, NJ)

Next, we joined industry leaders at the Benzinga Cannabis Market Spotlight in Somerset, New Jersey. This one-day summit brought together an impressive crowd of investors, operators, and innovators focused on the Garden State. From licensing challenges to market expansion, we had insightful discussions around where New Jersey’s cannabis industry is heading—and how StashStock can support that growth.

Sneaker Ball 2025 (March 9 | Detroit, MI)

Just days later, our team showed up to support the Great Lakes Expungement Network (GLEN) at this year’s SneakerBall in Detroit. GLEN is an incredible organization committed to helping Michiganders clear their records through fee-free expungement and this cannabis industry event was a fantastic reminder that change is possible—one step (or sneaker) at a time.

New England Cannabis Convention (NECANN): Boston (March 22–23 | Boston, MA)

A few weeks later, we landed in Massachusetts for NECANN Boston, the Northeast’s largest cannabis convention. With over 300 exhibitors and 9,000+ attendees, the energy was unmatched. NECANN is always a highlight for us, and 2025 didn’t disappoint.


As exhibitors, we had the opportunity to showcase StashStock’s platform in action — demonstrating how our tools support seamless compliance, comprehensive inventory management, and real-time tracking for operators across the supply chain. Our booth quickly became a hub for meaningful conversations, live demos, and spontaneous problem-solving sessions with operators and partners. It was rewarding to see how our technology continues to meet the evolving needs of the cannabis industry firsthand!

Flower Expo Illinois (March 25 | Chicago, IL)

To wrap up Q1, we attended the inaugural Flower Expo Illinois in Chicago—a premier B2B cannabis networking event designed to connect top brands with retail decision makers. With over 40 brands and representatives from 160+ dispensaries in attendance, the event delivered on its promise of a “high-vibe, consumption-friendly trade show” where brands meet buyers. We were excited to be part of this first-of-its-kind event in Illinois and to connect with so many retailers exploring new partnerships and product offerings.
