"This is where you find the decision makers!"

VIP Media Group events are where you find the decision makers! They're not only the best way to connect with retailers but to also learn, have fun and connect with potential partners and customers in spectacular scenarios. Jazz and his team are enablers who know how and when to connect the right people together. At STRAIN, we'll support the Elevate Cannabis Expo since we've seen an ROI like in no other event in the industry.
