Flower Expo does not have a hard limit on dispensary attendance, as each shop operates in a different way! However, we do ask that Retailer registrations are limited to legitimate decision-makers to provide the best experience for all attendees. 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!
Applications from dispensaries that are in development, opening soon, or located in a nearby state will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Please submit your application above and it will be considered!

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.
Although Flower Expo is a consumption-friendly environment, only Exhibitors with reserved booth space are permitted to bring cannabis into the event. Retailers, Budtenders, and all other attendees are subject to search upon entry, and any cannabis found must be discarded or returned to your vehicle.
If you would like to reserve a booth in order to showcase your own products at the event, please fill out our Exhibitor Interest Form and our team will get in touch!
In addition to complimentary passes, Flower Expo offers several additional perks to approved Retailers from licensed dispensaries. Once you submit your application and receive approval, our team will reach out with further information!
