Metrc announces in-person events in New York To prepare licensees For track-and-trace implementation

Metrc will host in-person roadshows throughout New York to help licensed businesses prepare for the state's implementation of Metrc as the track-and-trace system of record.

The New York in-person events will include important information to help licensees understand the Metrc system, supporting a smooth implementation. Sessions will cover how to gain access to the system and set up your licensed business, as well as best practices for operational success. Metrc will also conduct two live webinars for Testing Facilities on October 23 and for Third-Party Integrators on October 29, and will host the following sessions, listed below, for all other license types.

Metrc's upcoming roadshows will take place across New York in early November 2025. The first stop is Buffalo on November 3, with two sessions available: a morning session from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and an afternoon session from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The roadshow continues in Albany on November 5, followed by Long Island on November 6, and concludes in New York City on November 7. Each location will offer the same schedule, with AM sessions from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and PM sessions from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

As part of Metrc's phased onboarding approach, credentialing will be available for laboratory testing facilities as early as October 31 and for all other license types on November 7. All businesses will be required to use the Metrc system with a target date of December 17.
