Flower Expo, a B2B cannabis trade show series in the United States, is expanding its 2025 event schedule with the return of Flower Expo Michigan and a new two-day format for Flower Expo Illinois.
Following a successful 2025 kickoff in Illinois on March 25 and its third annual event in Massachusetts on June 4-5 featuring over 100 exhibiting brands and 300 attending dispensaries—Flower Expo is building on its momentum with two Midwest events aimed at fostering industry growth and connection.

Flower Expo Michigan will take place August 27-28, 2025, at the Allegan County Fairgrounds. Flower Expo Illinois is scheduled for September 23–24, 2025, at The Geraghty in Chicago. Each event will feature two distinct days: Day One focuses on connecting brands with dispensary buyers in a business-oriented environment, while Day Two is designed to engage budtenders through product education, networking, and immersive experiences.
"These upcoming events reflect our continued commitment to providing high-value opportunities for industry stakeholders," said Jason Bello, CEO of Flower Expo. "Both venues offer increased capacity, and we look forward to deepening relationships across these two influential markets."
