USA, USA,
USA!
As the US expo calendar becomes more and more competitive,
The Cannavist’s Katie Loomes rates the
biggest show to hit the East Coast yet.
Anticipated as the biggest CBD event on the East Coast
of the US, set among crystal clear beaches and tropical
waters, USA CBD Expo Miami did not disappoint. Apart
from the unfortunate weather we had, that is, but we can’t
blame the organisers for that.
With over 350 exhibitors, 13,500 attendees and 50 industry-
renowned speakers, the bar has definitely been set for
CBD exhibitions
in the US.
With such a
huge variety
of products
presented by
hundreds of
stands, I spent the
weekend making my
way around as many as
I could, indulging in CBD
sweets, chocolate and drinks
and sampling cosmetics and endless supplies of CBD
coffee. It’s fair to say that this was the most chilled expo
experience I’ve had yet!
There is such a huge diversity of brands available in the
US, so there really was something for everyone. There were
some familiar faces like Pachamama, Hugs and Ignite.
But what was wonderful to see was the amount of starter
companies that had recently launched their first ranges.
A personal new favourite of mine was Vaital Organics – a
CBD-infused superfood blend. I can’t believe something
that tastes just like a chocolate milkshake could be so
good for you. That’s definitely one to watch out for when it
reaches the UK.
The atmosphere of the event was great. Don’t forget, the
team behind USA CBD Expo is Jason Monti and Vape
