As New York's cannabis market faces uncertainty and change, Revelry is marking its 10th anniversary by hosting two significant Buyers’ Club gatherings in 2026. The events are scheduled for May 13 in Hudson and September 18 at Manhattan's Pier 36, bringing together licensed buyers, leading brands, and industry insiders at a time when the sector is searching for stability and new connections
Revelry has distinguished itself from conventional trade shows by prioritizing genuine community building over transactional networking. What began as grassroots meetups before cannabis legalization has evolved into a vital platform where business, culture, and community intersect. “What I’m most proud of is the depth of the relationships — not just the ones we’ve built within the industry over the past decade, but the platform we’ve created for others to build theirs,” said Lulu Tsui, Co-Founder and Chief Experience Officer at On The Revel, in a press release
The timing of these events is especially significant given the current state of the New York cannabis industry, marked by shifting regulations, increased competition, and evolving consumer demands. “The market sentiment right now is tough — there’s no sugarcoating that,” said Jacobi Holland, Co-Founder at On The Revel. “Our job has never been to pretend things are easy. It’s to create a space where people can be real with each other, solve problems together, and leave feeling like they’re not in this alone.”
Revelry’s Buyers’ Club is designed to go beyond the typical trade show format, incorporating elements of food, culture, and curated community experiences. New for 2026, the platform will introduce a Micro Business Program to give smaller, craft operators more visibility—reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and the evolving needs of the market. Jason Starr, Chief Impact Officer at On The Revel, emphasized, “When the environment is intentional and the community is thoughtfully curated, the best parts of cannabis culture—connection, creativity, and collaboration—naturally translate into better, more sustainable business.”
From the OG Lab newsroom perspective, Revelry’s decade-long consistency and focus on authentic connection have made it a key pillar in New York’s cannabis landscape. As the industry continues to adapt, these events could serve as essential touchpoints for collaboration, innovation, and support among both established and emerging players. The introduction of the Micro Business Program is particularly notable, as it signals an industry shift toward greater equity and representation for small operators
