Inaccurate Retailer registrations may be denied, or downgraded to Budtender.

Please note that some dispensaries have specific preferences as to which staff members can attend and represent their business. We encourage checking with your team and/or supervisors prior to registration!

To create the best Flower Expo experience for our attendees, complimentary Retailer and Budtender admission is reserved for roles that directly relate to retail management, customer interaction, and/or dispensary operations. Thus, cultivators, salespeople, post-harvest, trimmers, etc are not eligible, even if the business contains a retail element.

Industry professionals in these categories may attend if their brand is exhibiting at the event and assigns them an exhibitor ticket—otherwise they may purchase Industry GA Passes.

No. Retailer and budtender passholders are not permitted to bring cannabis into the venue. Any cannabis found may be confiscated upon entry.
