If you\u2019re in the New York cannabis industry, the place to be last Friday and Saturday, Sept. 12-13, was on the dock of bay, the East River\u2019s Pier 36, for Revelry NYC<\/a>.\u00a0 Well over 250 companies exhibited their wares to over 4,500 attendees, who were both industry players and the cannabis-friendly public.<\/p>\n Major multi-state operators (MSOs) such as Weedmaps, Rove, Kiva, PAX, Papa and Barkley, Wyld and many more brought major activations, as did several New York-centric companies and organizations.<\/p>\n Business-to-business herb events have been few and far between in NYC.\u00a0 So, you could feel the enthusiasm of both exhibitors and attendees, despite the vagaries laid on them by Empire State regulators.\u00a0 Many in the community commented they \u201cneeded this gathering.\u201d<\/p>\n Along with the scarcity of New York City industry meetups, those that allow consumption and sampling are even more rare.\u00a0 Exhibitors were allowed to give samples to registered buyers, and consumption was permitted in the stage and food court area outside.<\/p>\n Being more of a festival than a trade show, Revelry NYC is the core concept for co-founders Lulu Tsui and Jacobi Holland.\u00a0 They started nine years ago with the mindset of representing the cannabis community rather than the \u201csuits and ties\u201d crowd. That adherence to the plant and its people may be why Revelry NYC is doing so well when other larger event companies aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n Many exhibitors echoed the same sentiment\u2014they came to Revelry not just to showcase their brand, but also to meet and connect with fellow industry leaders. Fernway<\/a> Co-Founder Liam O\u2019Brien, who started the company in Massachusetts and has since expanded into New York and New Jersey, said the event was working out very well for them, both with traffic at the booth and arranging meetings off site.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThere are so few events in New York where you find all the companies and the innovators,\u201d O\u2019Brien said, explaining why Fenway exhibits at Revelry NYC.<\/p>\n And it wasn\u2019t just local tribe members spreading the word and the cannabis positivity.\u00a0 Movers and shakers from across the country descended on Lower Manhattan. In from California was Jocelyn Sheltraw, co-founder and CEO of the product review app and website, Budist<\/a>. She and Budist\u2019s COO, Claudio Miranda, were hearing strong buzz about Revelry and decided to investigate in person. Sheltraw felt it was more than worth the trip.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were thrilled to attend Revelry to experience firsthand the emergence of this bustling legal market, as well as to spread word about the MJBowl, which offers New York brands a national stage to celebrate the best their market has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n The exhibit aisles were packed. By late afternoon, booth staffers were running to collect back up supplies to give out more samples. Unlike many recent cannabis industry summits, staffers agreed that Revelry delivered: not only were valuable new contacts made, but real business was being done\u2014the ROI was clear.<\/p>\n Celebrities and talented artists abounded at the event. On the exhibit floor, there was Fat Joe at the Jeeter<\/a> booth; Mike Tyson representing Tyson 2.0<\/a>; Rob Gronkowski at the Foy<\/a> booth; and Remy Banks greeting crowds at Olio<\/a>.<\/p>\n At the large outside stage on the second day, Durand Bernarr (solo artist and back up to Erykah Badu and Anderson Paak), Phony PPL, Dos Flakos and Angel & Dren\u2014all NYC-based talent\u2014kept the crowd energized and floating.<\/p>\n Unlike last year\u2019s Revelry event, the doors to the East River were closed. This cut off Pier 36\u2019s sweeping views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges and the Wall Street area. But with 55,000 square feet of exhibit space in addition to other gathering spaces makes it a strong venue for a cannabis event.<\/p>\n Interestingly, many exhibitors commented on how the West Coast-based Hall of Flowers<\/a> will be holding their first New York City-event in the exact same space in a few weeks, October 8-9.\u00a0 Several New York company representatives said they were in a wait-and-see position on exhibiting with HoF, primarily because Revelry is homegrown in New York. That being said, since no major cannabis event companies are stepping into the New York ring this year, Revelry NYC cements itself as the premier cannabis conference in the Big Apple.<\/p>\n The post Revelry on the River in NYC<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
