Lemonhaze Takes Execs to the Golf Links for Cannabis Networking

Of the many grower, sales and budtending networking meet-ups staged by Lemonhaze, the company’s golf tournaments may be the most popular events for cannabis operators to make personal business inroads with other green-minded execs. This year’s biggest tournament takes to the sands—and sand traps—of Las Vegas, NV on Nov. 14, following more terpene tourney tee-offs in Arizona, Florida, Colorado and California.

It’s the second season of golf networking events hosted by Seattle, WA-based B2B events company Lemonhaze. The year’s slate of tournaments is capped off by the invitation-only Lemonhaze Cannabis Industry Executive Golf Invitational in Las Vegas, to be held at Bear’s Best Country Club in Las Vegas’s master-planned community of Summerlin.

The invitational will also feature one of Lemonhaze’s Budtender First Parties, music and merriment-infused VIP get-togethers that recognize budtenders as the driving force behind the industry. Budtender First Parties are open to exhibitors, salespeople and dispensary buyers in festivities held in legal cannabis hubs, including Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Detroit, MI, Portland, OR, and Seattle.

Lemonhaze also hosts Virtual Up-Front meet-ups throughout the year. Described by the company as “speed dating for cannabis buying,” Virtual Up-Front live video-conferences bring together smaller brands and major retailers.

“Lemonhaze’s mission continues to be providing valuable industry connections and throwing some great parties for everyone to enjoy,” Lemonhaze CEO Brian Yauger said in a statement.

Lemonhaze events are sponsored by some of the biggest brands inside and outside the industry, including Agrify, Arco/Murray, AVD, Blinc, BOLD, BOVEDA, LeafLink, Rove and more.
