Meet the New York Wave: A Business Event for Smokers

The day after The 2025 New York Growers Cup, after all the dust has settled, we've got an industry-focused event that's aimed at the smokers -- the passionate nerds who care deeply about pushing the industry forward.

Whatever aspect of the industry you're involved in, you're welcome to attend. Whether you're an experienced cultivator, the buyer for a new dispo, or a budtender looking to dive deeper, we want you to attend.

Many of these folks already attend the annual awards show, but this event provides a dedicated space for business conversations -- no loud music, no awards presentation, just friendly business conversation and big doinks.

That said, "Meet the New York Wave" is focused on showcasing New York growers and connecting them with business resources and opportunities.

Like the Cup itself, this event exists to highlight and elevate New York's best growers.

To that end, every grower who entered this year's Cup automatically has a ticket, as does every sponsor.

Additionally, both BIOS Lighting -- one of our sponsors for the Cup this year -- will have an activation in the space. Another key sponsor, Rudick Law Group, will be on-site to meet with anyone who has legal questions.

Food and drinks will be provided as well. And the space is, of course, smoke-friendly -- BYOB.

Bring your business cards and your finest grinder. We'll see you soon.
