For anyone curious about the future direction of the cannabis industry in the United States, the place to be in 2025 will be the Cannabis Drinks Expo, hosted by the Beverage Trade Network. This event will be the biggest global gathering of cannabis drinks professionals ever, bringing together drinks producers, manufacturers, brand owners, distilleries, and brewers all in one place for a spectacular expo and business conference.

GROW your business

The major theme of the Cannabis Drinks Expo will be on growing your business and growing your bottom line. So if you’re a brand owner, or a distillery or brewery looking for an on-ramp to the very aggressively growing U.S. cannabis industry, this event will provide the perfect platform for growth.

Since the U.S. cannabis industry is so different on a state-by-state basis, the goal of the Cannabis Drinks Expo is to widen the perspective of participants, enabling them to see how a strategy that has done well in one state might also be used to expand into another state. In the same way, a California winemaker might meet the perfect partner to make a new cannabis drink strategy work.

The premier place to spot these potential business partners will be on the trade show floor of the Cannabis Drinks Expo. During the event, a visitor to this trade show floor will be able to interact directly with brand representatives, distributors, and other industry professionals.

NETWORK with fellow professionals

The participants of the Cannabis Drinks Expo will include professionals involved in the development, production, distribution, and retailing of cannabis-related drinks products. If you are looking for new partners to enter a new niche or sector, this is the place to be. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet like-minded professionals, all of them united in their commitment to growing the U.S. cannabis industry.

Moreover, you will be able to grow your circle of connections to include political and legal analysts, medical researchers, and brand owners from other industries, especially the alcoholic beverage industry. The connections you walk away with from the Cannabis Drinks Expo could help you launch an important new product category in 2025.

LEARN about new trends and key market forecasts

In addition to the trade show floor, there will be a business conference track to the expo. As part of this conference, leading speakers within the cannabis industry will share their insights and analysis about how to create, grow and develop an exciting new consumer market. Already, the sheer scope of innovation within the cannabis drinks sector has been phenomenal, with everything from energy drinks to infused wines hitting the market.

If you want to stay ahead of consumer tastes and find out what’s going to be hot in 2025, the Cannabis Drinks Expo will be where you can get the latest market forecasts and hear directly from the influential professionals who have helped to launch a young, dynamic new market.

If you have an exciting new idea for a new cannabis drink or are curious about ways that your distillery, winery, or brewery can get involved in the U.S. cannabis industry, the Cannabis Drinks Expo needs to be on your calendar for 2025.
