Hall of Flowers' NYC Pre-Show Media Mixer brings the cannabis media and industry crowd to Nittis in Hell's Kitchen on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. The evening runs from 5:00–9:00 PM Eastern, with music, badge pickup, snacks and drinks. It lands the night before Hall of Flowers New York opens at Pier 36, giving attendees a place to meet before the trade show begins.
What's happening
The mixer centers on conversation and an early start to show week. Hall of Flowers announces no cover, and badge pickup is available on site for the following day's show. For registered attendees, that makes Tuesday a useful stop before Wednesday morning's arrival at Pier 36.
Hall of Flowers presents the mixer with SALT, alongside Beard Bros Pharms, Nittis and NYC Bud. The event billing also includes Gold Standard and AIQ (Alpine IQ). Music, snacks and drinks are part of the announced evening; no cover refers to admission and does not establish an unlimited food or bar package.
Badge pickup before the show
Use the mixer to collect your Hall of Flowers badge ahead of opening day. Keep your registration details handy and resolve any questions about your pass with the organizer before arriving. Exhibitor teams should check their own ticket assignments: Hall of Flowers' exhibitor guide explains that event passes are assigned to individual employees and are non-transferable.
Early badge pickup is a practical option if Wednesday is already full of meetings. Leave room in your Tuesday plans for the pickup itself, then use the rest of the evening to catch up with contacts or make introductions. The posted mixer window ends at 9:00 PM.
Where to go
Nittis Italian Restaurant & Bar is at 523 Ninth Avenue, at West 39th Street, New York, NY 10018. The venue is in Hell's Kitchen on Manhattan's West Side. Nittis describes its location as walking distance from Times Square, Hudson Yards, the Javits Center and Madison Square Garden.
The mixer address is separate from Pier 36, so save both destinations when planning the week. Head to Nittis on Tuesday evening and Pier 36 for the trade show on Wednesday and Thursday. Allow travel time between your hotel, the mixer and any other appointments.
The trade show follows
Hall of Flowers New York 2026 runs October 21–22 at Pier 36, 299 South Street. Show hours are 10:00 AM–5:00 PM each day. The trade show is industry-focused and admission is 21 and older. Its venue is not licensed for cannabis retail, so cannabis sales are not permitted at the show.
