Network Show starts its 2026 Los Angeles run one night early with a Welcome Party at Port Town Brewing Co. in downtown San Pedro. The gathering runs Tuesday, September 22, from 7:00 to 11:00 PM, immediately before the two-day trade show opens on September 23. It is a private industry event: the flyer says attendance is limited to cannabis-licensed businesses and the public cannot attend.
Who the party is for
This is a working room for California's licensed cannabis trade, not a consumer party or public brewery night. The boundary on the flyer is direct: only cannabis-licensed businesses can attend. Anyone planning to go should confirm their access through Network Show before heading to San Pedro. The flyer does not publish a public ticket link, cover charge or walk-up policy, so do not count on general admission at the door.
The opening night for Network Show
The Welcome Party leads directly into Network Show 2026, which runs September 23 and 24 in Los Angeles. The main show connects licensed cannabis brands with licensed retailers, buyers, managers and operators through two days of meetings, discovery and business conversations. That makes Tuesday night the first chance for approved industry guests to get into the same orbit before the trade show schedule starts the next morning.
Network Show is produced by The Goodfellas Group, the team behind the event and its MADE professional network. For more background on how the show verifies participants and structures its business-to-business floor, read the High Rise guide to Network Show and LA's licensed cannabis trade.
Canopy sponsors the night
Canopy is the named sponsor on the Welcome Party flyer. The artwork also carries Weedmaps, Athena, Abstrax, Grodan, Distru, SC Labs and True Weight. The flyer does not assign individual programming, activations or speaking roles to those companies, so treat the logos as the confirmed lineup of companies shown for the night rather than a schedule of appearances.
Port Town Brewing Co.
Port Town Brewing Co. sits at 285 W 7th Street in San Pedro's historic downtown. The brewery describes itself as a local taproom serving beer brewed on Seventh Street, with ten taps and rotating food vendors on weekends. Tuesday is normally outside its posted public taproom schedule, which lines up with the Welcome Party's private-event setup. Follow the event access instructions rather than the brewery's standard public hours.
The location is close to the Los Angeles waterfront and gives Network Show guests a clear San Pedro base before the trade show begins. The party starts at 7:00 PM and ends at 11:00 PM. No separate end-of-night transportation, parking or food details appear on the flyer, so plan those pieces independently and confirm any last-minute instructions with Network Show.
Know before you go
Bring the information Network Show requests for its industry verification process and make sure your business access is confirmed before arrival. The party listing does not promise entry based on a general RSVP, and it should not be treated as an open brewery event. Cannabis and alcohol rules still apply at the venue, so follow posted policies and arrange a safe ride home.
