02/03/2022 Cannabis Drinks Expo San Francisco and Chicago Super Early Bird Exhibitor Deadline Is November 30.

Only a few hours left to take advantage of a solid super early bird exhibitor offer and get involved with the fast-growing category in 2023.

The theme for the year was “Growing The Category” and Cannabis Drinks Expo saw significant category growth with the support of all the exhibitors and visitors who believe and are passionate to pull the reins harder.

Here are the 4 main pillars of the theme:

a) Extensive research was done at this year's show with the stakeholders to discuss the theme for 2023. After analyzing more than 50 feedback forms, and meeting MSOs and Co-Packers, and other influencers of the category, we have concluded that the 2023 theme will again be ‘Growing the Category’. The 2023 theme will be broken down into 4 main pillars. Each pillar, as followers, will be marketed all year round to help the category grow.

b) Creating end consumer pull: One of the main challenges our cannabis drinks category faces is to create end consumer demand. CDE will work with speakers, visitors, exhibitors, and media to create more end-consumer awareness of Cannabis Beverages. The ultimate consumer demand will help dispensaries and retailers stock cannabis beverages which will help the entire supply chain.

c) Educating consumers on Cannabis Beverages: The second pillar that CDE will focus on will be inducing end consumers with more technical information on why they should ‘try’ cannabis beverages. CDE will work with key influencers in the next 12 months to educate current cannabis consumers on cannabis beverages and also craft beer, wine, and spirits drinkers on how cannabis beverages can also be part of their social consumption.

d) State bottlenecks: One common feedback CDE got was to have other state co-packers and MSOs at both locations as they are key to unlocking some logistical and legal bottlenecks that we have in place in the US market. CDE will work on getting leading co-packers and MSOs as exhibitors in 2023. This will help current and new brands expand their distribution.

e) International theme: 2023 will also have a focus on bringing international participants and will have an international panel and discussions on how brands can partner with US companies and how US companies can partner with foreign companies to grow.
