Join us for the kickoff event of the Fourth Annual Cannabis Empowerment Week 2026: Social in the City — an evening centered on education, conversation, and the future of social consumption in Boston.

Hosted by the City of Boston Cannabis Industry Development Team and the Boston Cannabis Board, this informational session will explore Boston’s anticipated municipal planning process, the three new social consumption license types, community impact considerations, and the statewide framework surrounding social consumption.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from City and State representatives, engage in discussion, ask questions, and learn more about how social consumption could shape hospitality, culture, nightlife, equity, and economic opportunity throughout Boston.

We will also meet and engage with newly appointed Cannabis Control Commissioner, Xiomara Albán DeLobato.  

Whether you are a business owner, entrepreneur, community member, advocate, consumer, or simply curious about social consumption this event is designed to inform, connect, and empower.

Get Social in the City with us as we kick off a week dedicated to cannabis education, equity, culture, and community.
