Elevated Minds Social Hour:The MJBizCon 2026 Happy Hour

It's purpose-built for real business conversations — not a loud party. The event brings together 300+ vetted cannabis executives, founders, investors, and operators in an intimate consumption-friendly lounge instead of a packed nightclub. You get curated attendees, no booming house music, a private setting at one of the most iconic cannabis venues in the world, and timing on the first expo night of MJBizCon, when everyone is fresh, focused, and ready to do deals.

Three things: (1) The attendee list is curated — Cannabis Creative Group vets RSVPs so the room is full of decision-makers, not badge-scanners. (2) The venue is exclusive — Dazed! at Planet 13 is a licensed consumption lounge, so you can actually use the products you came to MJBizCon to talk about. (3) The format is built for conversation — quiet enough to talk shop, energetic enough to feel like a real industry kickoff.

Most MJBizCon side events are crowded open-bar parties where it's hard to find the people you actually want to meet. Elevated Minds Social Hour vets the guest list and runs 4:00–8:00 PM PT so you can network meaningfully and still make your dinner reservations. It's the executive alternative to the late-night chaos.

Your $25 ticket covers our venue hosting fees at the premier Dazed! Consumption Lounge inside Planet 13, as well as the complete event experience. Rather than charging high admission prices, this low fee helps us reserve an exclusive, private space, organize sponsor activation areas, and curate a high-value networking setting with 300+ vetted industry executives. Plus, your ticket unlocks exclusive discounts on Planet 13 cannabis products throughout the evening.

Elevated Minds Social Hour is one of the best events at MJBiz 2026 for executive networking. It runs Wednesday, December 2, 4:00–8:00 PM PT at the Dazed! Consumption Lounge at Planet 13, with 300+ vetted cannabis founders, operators, and investors. See our full MJBiz 2026 events guide for more happy hours, parties, and networking events as they're confirmed.

The best happy hours at MJBizCon combine a curated guest list with a setting where you can actually talk. Elevated Minds Social Hour does both: a consumption-friendly happy hour on December 2, 2026 from 4:00–8:00 PM PT at Planet 13's Dazed! Lounge, with food, drinks, Planet 13 product discounts, and no loud club music. Tickets are $25.

Yes. Dozens of after parties and side events happen across Las Vegas during MJBizCon week. Elevated Minds Social Hour is an after-expo party that starts once the show floor closes on December 2, running 4:00–8:00 PM PT at Planet 13's Dazed! Lounge, so you can network first and still head to dinner or late-night events afterward.

After the MJBizCon expo closes, most attendees head to happy hours, dinners, and after parties. On December 2, Elevated Minds Social Hour is an easy first stop: a 4:00–8:00 PM PT networking happy hour at the Dazed! Consumption Lounge at Planet 13, about 10–15 minutes by rideshare from the Las Vegas Convention Center, with food, drinks, and legal on-site consumption.

The Elevated Minds MJBiz happy hour is on Wednesday, December 2, 2026, from 4:00 to 8:00 PM PT at the Dazed! Consumption Lounge at Planet 13, 2548 W Desert Inn Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89109. It's about 3 miles from the Las Vegas Convention Center, where MJBizCon 2026 runs December 1–4.

Planet 13 is about 3 miles from the Las Vegas Convention Center — roughly 10–15 minutes by Uber, Lyft, or taxi depending on traffic. Rideshare pickup is available outside the LVCC halls. If you drive, Planet 13 has a large on-site parking lot directly in front of the building at 2548 W Desert Inn Rd.

Yes. Cannabis consumption is allowed because the event is held inside Dazed!, a licensed consumption lounge at Planet 13 — one of the few places in Las Vegas where you can legally consume on site. All cannabis products must be purchased on site from Planet 13 or Dazed!, and ticket holders receive exclusive product discounts all evening.

300+ vetted cannabis industry professionals attend, including founders, CEOs, CMOs, dispensary owners, MSO executives, investors, and leaders from ancillary brands and service providers. Past attendees include Cannabis Creative Group, High Times, Flowhub, PAX, Canopy, Planet 13, AAFCPAs, Baker Tilly, Springbig, Sweed, and Wurk.

Yes. Food and drinks are included with your ticket throughout the 4:00–8:00 PM PT happy hour. Food, alcohol, and infused-bar sponsors activate on site, so expect refreshments, cocktails, and infused drink options alongside exclusive Planet 13 cannabis product discounts.

The event is strictly 21+. Like every cannabis consumption lounge in Nevada, Dazed! at Planet 13 requires a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport, at the door. Guests without valid ID showing they are 21 or older will be denied entry without a refund.
