CVCAN Canna Mixer
Join the Coachella Valley Cannabis Alliance Network (CVCAN) for our second Industry Canna Mixer on Friday, July 10, 2026, at The Dune Room in Indio, CA. This exciting summer evening brings together the cannabis community with a creative twist, highlighting the businesses, organizations, artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators shaping the future of the Eastern Coachella Valley.
Mixer: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Industry After Bash: 10:00 PM – 2:00 AM
Enjoy an evening of networking, collaboration, education, and inspiration as we celebrate the growing cannabis culture and arts community in the Coachella Valley. Connect with local professionals, community leaders, and emerging businesses while enjoying interactive networking experiences, small business spotlights, special giveaways, raffles, and opportunities to build meaningful relationships throughout our local cannabis ecosystem.
The evening begins with a special presentation from the Center for Employment Training (CET), showcasing its Cannabis Agriculture Program and sharing educational pathways for individuals interested in launching or advancing careers in the cannabis industry.
We'll also welcome Ganja Mingle, an innovative new platform designed to connect cannabis communities throughout the Coachella Valley and beyond, creating new opportunities for networking and collaboration.
A featured highlight of the evening will be an engaging panel discussion with local professional artists and creatives whose careers intersect with the region's world-renowned music festival industry. Together they'll explore the topic:
"How Cannabis Influences Creativity in Local Professional Artists' Careers."
Hear firsthand how cannabis has inspired artistic expression, entrepreneurship, innovation, and creative collaboration across multiple disciplines.
This is more than a networking event—it's an opportunity to help expand cannabis culture into new spaces while supporting the people and organizations working to strengthen our community. Although this is a non-consumption event, attendees can still enjoy plenty of giveaways, raffles, and goodies to take home.
