What is Canna Connect? Minnesotans Connecting Over Cannabis!

What clients say about CannaConnect

"Involvement with CannaConnect has been one of the most fruitful partnerships we've made in Minnesota. With inclusion in the large-scale events, product showcasing in smaller classroom sessions, and brand highlights on social media, CannaConnect has provided a unique path to introduce and integrate our brand into the Minnesota cannabis community. Since partnering, we've seen movement in B2B interest, as well as an uptick in B2C sales for the area."

Haylee Otto

Representing Storz & Bickel

Working with Steve Eigenmann of Canna Connect is an absolute delight! We can't help but admire his dedication and professionalism in the Minnesota cannabis scene. As proud sponsors of Canna Connect, we've witnessed firsthand the incredible focus on customer satisfaction and the creation of a one-of-a-kind experience. This special environment not only puts customers first but also fosters meaningful connections between brands and the people they serve. Get ready for an unforgettable journey with Canna Connect!”

Zach Rohr

Minny Grown CEO

"Canna Connect is the perfect way to grow a network and business in the cannabis industry. It helps us meet new accounts to sell into, helps us meet new brands to partner with, and helps us get in front of valuable shoppers. Each event allows us to make a new connection, acquire a new customer, and get our brand out there. On top of all that, Canna Connect helps us keep our pulse on an ever-changing industry: new laws, new regulations, new products, new brands, new opportunities. We love coming to Canna Connect events and can't wait to see you at the next one!"

David Gonzalez

Founder of FizzyTHC and Head of Growth at Hemp House

After Canna Connect 02 last year, we got more follow ups from that than any show we've ever done. So kudos to you, Stephen for providing that space. It was unbelievable, like it was awesome!
