The iconic Basilica Hudson was buzzing with energy and excitement on Thursday as hundreds, (maybe even thousands?) of cannabis industry leaders, retailers, growers, producers, and top brands from across the state converged for the third annual Revelry Buyers' Club. The exclusive Buyers Club, organized by On The Revel, has become a centerpiece event for New York's rapidly expanding legal cannabis market.

For all of New York's trials and tribulations in its legalization journey, an atmosphere of conviviality and entrepreneurial spirit filled the air as attendees connected over the latest products, forged new partnerships, and shared insights about the industry's challenges, opportunities and evolution. The diversity and dynamism of the crowd reflected the vibrant spectrum of New York's cannabis community itself.


"The exuberance in this room is palpable - you can feel the passion and determination from all these trailblazers who are shaping the future of cannabis in New York," said Lulu Tsui, co-founder of On The Revel. "Fostering these vital connections between retailers, cultivators, processors and brands is absolutely crucial for cultivating a thriving industry."

Some of the amazing NY brands on hand were Ravens View Genetics, House of Sacci, Heavy Hitters, MFNY, Weekenders, 7 Seaz Cannabis, CannaCure Farms and so many more from across the state.

"I'm meeting people here who I've been talking to on the phone and emailing for months," one attendee remarked. "To finally put faces to names, shake hands, and experience these incredible products first-hand is invaluable."

From the packed exhibition floor to the lively discussions spilling out into the venue's corridors, Revelry Buyers' Club underscored On The Revel's ability to bring New York's diverse cannabis leaders together and amplify their collective voice. Former New England Patriot Rob Gronkowski was even spotted at the event representing Foy.

"We're fostering an ecosystem of collaboration that will propel this blossoming industry forward," said Jacobi Holland, On The Revel's other co-founder. "Events like this strengthen the relationships that are the bedrock of New York's cannabis culture, community and industry."
