About the Summit

Where Virginia comes to do business.

A two-day business summit bringing Virginia’s operators, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and service providers into one room as the state prepares for its adult-use cannabis launch.

01 / Why now

A new market opens July 1, 2027.

Virginia’s adult-use cannabis market is scheduled to launch on July 1, 2027. The Summit brings the people building that market together months ahead of launch, so partnerships, capital and compliance plans are in place before the doors open.

Every element is designed to create productive conversations, strategic partnerships and measurable business opportunities.
