About 8PG
Cannabis Events · Built to a Different Standard
Building the Standard
8PG produces large scale events across multiple states that put brands in front of the people who actually move the culture.
For nearly a decade, we have built a platform where launches take off, names break through, and real motion starts. The audience is made up of makers, buyers, budtenders, and the core of the community, with production, hospitality, and experience held to a consistent standard. These are not just another trade show. Every event is built to a different level.
Our New York event in April 2026 sold out. Los Angeles is next. King of Jars is the most significant thing we have produced, and it closes on September 19 with a live reveal in front of the crowd that understands exactly what it means to take it.
Production. Hospitality. Experience.
Three principles, held to one standard, every time.
Serious Production
Full scale builds, not pop-ups. The crowd is real. The brands are real. The production carries real weight from load in through load out.
Recognized VIP Experience
One of the most recognized VIP experiences in the space. Early entry, full food coverage, hospitality stations, and service that actually shows up.
Community That Moves Culture
Makers, buyers, budtenders, creators, and the core of the community in one room. 60 plus brands across every event floor.
This Is What We Do.
What we built in 2025 set a new bar. Across four Sterling Manor events, the level of execution, detail, and consistency held from start to finish. Supercars, art, food, fashion, and culture came together in a way people felt the moment they arrived. These were not just events. They reset expectations and showed what this space can look like when it is done right.
King of Jars 2026
September 19 in Los Angeles. The most significant thing we have produced.
King of Jars is our first competition. Two categories, Rosin and Flower. Thirty competitors in each. Every entry blind and randomized. 110 judges per category evaluate privately over a 30 day window. By the time doors open on September 19, the judging is already done and the results are locked.
The competition closes with a full scale 8PG event. 1,000 plus guests. 60 plus brands across the event floor. Live awards. Both $20,000 category winners revealed on stage.
The total prize pool is $45,000. The structure is controlled, the process is protected, and the result belongs to the judges. This is the environment the community has come to expect from 8PG, set at the level the competition demands.
