The show will be open to the public, with legal identification proving age of 18 years and older as a requirement for admission. The sale of $15-ticket is scheduled to begin in November 2014.
This event will kick off NECC’s schedule of four conventions in 2015, including shows at the Providence Convention Center April 4th & 5th, The Portland (ME) Expo Center June 6th & 7th, and a return to Boston in September of the same year. Future plans include shows in Manchester (NH), Burlington, (VT), and Worcester, (MA).
“After many discussions about the lack of established resource hubs for the rapidly expanding Medical Marijuana industry in New England, we decided these events were overdue”, said Marc Shepard, co-founder & President of NECC.
“Our goal is to provide arenas where patients, advocates, businesses, educators, and consumers can connect”.
New England Cannabis Conventions was created by Jeff Lawrence & Marc Shepard, 2 veterans of the local Alt-Weekly industry with long histories of successful event Creation.
