An Immersive Global Cannabis Experience Coming to Chicago
Curated Networking Event for 175 Cannabis Executives and Industry Leaders Set for June 14, 2026 — Held in Conjunction with the IgniteIt Capital Conference
CHICAGO, IL, May 27, 2026 — The Mycelia Group today announced The Cannabis World Tour: An Immersive Global Cannabis Experience, a premier networking experience set for Sunday, June 14, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Chicago, Illinois. Held the day before the IgniteIt Capital Conference, the event is designed to bring together approximately 175 cannabis executives, investors, operators, brands, and international industry leaders for an experience unlike any other in the cannabis industry.
Rather than a traditional networking mixer, The Cannabis World Tour invites attendees to grab their passport and travel the globe — without leaving Chicago. The event features six themed immersive “destinations,” each showcasing distinct cannabis cultures from around the world through curated food and beverage pairings, immersive cannabis product pairings, cultural storytelling, and interactive networking experiences.
Each destination is crafted to deliver more than ambiance. Attendees travel through sponsored experiences, participate in passport interactions, and engage in the kind of meaningful, high-quality conversations that define long-term business relationships.
“The Cannabis World Tour is our invitation to the industry to slow down, connect meaningfully, and celebrate how far we’ve come and where we’re going.”
— The Mycelia Group
