Wiz Khalifa to Headline MJBizCon 2026 with Keynote and Live Concert

Grammy-Nominated Artist and Khalifa Kush Co-Founder to Take the Stage December 2 as MJBizCon Debuts New Live Music and Food Experiences

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MJBizCon, the world's largest and most influential B2B cannabis Conference and Expo, has announced Grammy-nominated artist and Khalifa Kush Co-Founder, Wiz Khalifa, as keynote speaker and concert headliner on Wednesday, December 2, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Long before legalization went mainstream, Wiz Khalifa made cannabis part of his identity, his music, and his message. Since the 2010s, he's turned that passion into a premium cannabis business, Khalifa Kush, built on the culture he helped shape.

Khalifa will share his journey from artist to cannabis entrepreneur during From Mixtapes to Market Share: Wiz Khalifa's Cannabis Playbook, a 30-minute fireside chat taking place Wednesday, December 2, at 1:00 p.m. on the General Session Stage (N109). The keynote is open to all MJBizCon attendees, regardless of badge type.

The conversation will explore how Khalifa transformed a personal strain into a recognized consumer brand while maintaining the cultural authenticity that helped establish it. He'll discuss the importance of choosing the right partners across cultivation, distribution, and retail, the challenges of scaling a cannabis business, and his perspective on where the global cannabis market is headed.

Later that day, Khalifa will trade the keynote stage for the music stage, delivering a live performance at 5:00 p.m. at The Gas Station, MJBizCon's all-new live music stage powered by Weedmaps.

Debuting at MJBizCon 2026, The Gas Station brings live music and entertainment directly to the Expo Floor, giving attendees a new way to close out the show day before heading into the Las Vegas nightlife. Khalifa will headline Wednesday's performances alongside an opening act to be announced. Live music will continue Thursday, December 3, with additional artists and performances to be revealed.

Also making its debut this year is The Pit Stop, MJBizCon's new outdoor food truck destination located just outside the Expo Hall near The Gas Station. Featuring a variety of food trucks and local flavors, The Pit Stop will give attendees a place to grab a bite, recharge between sessions and meetings, and enjoy the atmosphere throughout the day and into the evening.

Together, The Gas Station and The Pit Stop introduce new entertainment and dining experiences to MJBizCon 2026, complementing the event's conference programming, expansive Expo Floor, and business-building opportunities.

Both activations are accessible to all attendees with any MJBizCon badge. Attendees planning to catch performances at The Gas Station must be on the Expo Floor by 5:00 p.m., as re-entry will not be permitted after that time.

MJBizCon 2026 takes place December 1–4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, beginning with Pre-Conference Certifications and special programming on Tuesday, December 1. For more information or to register, visit mjbizconference.com.
