NECANN NJ 2025 CANNABIS INDUSTRY CONVENTION FEATURES NEW CUP OF CHAMPIONS
2025 NECANN NJ CUP OF CHAMPIONS
NECANN CEO Marc Shepard and 420NJEvents Co-Founders, Brendon Robinson and Stanley Okoro, oversaw the 2025 Cup of Champions held during the convention. NECANN threw its first Cup of Champions in New Jersey at the Atlantic City Convention Center during its 6th annual cannabis industry convention in the Garden State.
On their website, they describe their New England Cup as a “Cannabis Competition, a third-party blind evaluation of cannabis and cannabis products. It features separate awards for home growers/caregivers and licensed facilities, with testing provided by Analytics Labs.”
With home growing a felony in New Jersey, it is not possible to include that legally.
No dispensaries got Cups versus plaques. Several dispensaries were awarded plaques first.
According to them, “the Best Dispensary Competition will assess participating dispensaries through NECANN’s Secret Shopper program, rating each location based on quality, customer service, product selection, and community involvement.”
