Marino’s Dope MJBizCon Afterparty List

MJBizCon, the premier cannabis industry event, is just around the corner, and we all know that the real fun doesn't stop when the conference halls close for the day. The afterparties are where the magic happens, offering a unique opportunity to network, relax, and enjoy the vibrant cannabis community. Before we get into our inaugural list of events, here are a few tips for surviving a night of parties at MJBizCon:

• Depending on how long you’re in town, it’s important to plan out your afterparty schedule (as best as you can). I usually start with a group dinner on Tuesday, followed by a single party to ensure I’m fresh for Wednesday. Wednesday and Thursday are the main party nights, with various smaller cocktail events, invite-only dinners and large parties. 
• Pace yourself. By the time you start hitting after parties, you’ve probably been running around and on your feet for close to ten hours. 
• Social media is your best friend for finding out about gatherings.
• Don’t forget to eat dinner! If you want to go out to a nice dinner, make reservations in advance. Everyone is trying to have dinner and it can get tricky if you’re doing something last minute. Vegas has some amazing food you’re going to want to take advantage of.
• Unless you’re going sober or cali sober, you’ll likely be mixing alcohol and cannabis. Know your tolerance and don’t try to impress anyone. The last thing you want to do is embarrass yourself in front of potential business leads and work colleagues.
• As your schedule is coming together, you might be very popular and get invited to several events per night. Last year I did manage to hit 5 events in one night, but the unfortunate part was I spent about a quarter of my night in cabs. Would I have been better served if I just went to 1-2 parties? Probably. It’s a personal decision based on who you need to see, but I’d recommend quality over quantity.

And now without further adieu we're delighted to introduce the "Marino’s Inaugural Dope MJBizCon Afterparty List," showcasing the hottest and most exclusive events in town for 2023’s MJBizCon.
