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.

  One of CVCAN's most popular networking events of the year, the Pool Party brings together cannabis professionals, community leaders, entrepreneurs, and supporters from throughout the Coachella Valley for an afternoon of relaxation, conversation, and connection.

  We're also excited to welcome Holistic Caring & The Green Nurse, who will host a live podcast throughout the event. Participating sponsors will have the opportunity to share their story, promote their brand, and connect with audiences beyond the event through podcast, video, social media, and CVCAN marketing channels.

  As an added benefit, participating sponsors will receive a Sponsorship Amplification Package valued at more than $500, including recorded content, social media promotion, and marketing assets that can continue generating exposure long after the event ends.

  From Our New Community Partner

  GanjaMingle - The Uncensored Home for Cannabis Culture

  GanjaMingle is the uncensored digital sanctuary the cannabis community has been waiting for. For too long, mainstream social networks have dictated who is acceptable, routinely shadow-banning, blacklisting, and silencing our community. GanjaMingle was built as a direct response to this tech hypocrisy. 

  We are a dedicated, stigma-free platform designed to connect advocates, patients, and enthusiasts without the constant fear of censorship or algorithmic punishment. Beyond the outdated stereotypes, we know cannabis is a profound tool for wellness, healing, and connection. GanjaMingle exists so we can finally mingle freely, share our truths, and rewrite the narrative on a platform that truly belongs to us.

  Get on GanjaMingle today to spread the love, share the knowledge, and play a part in bringing our community together. Download the app today on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and let's build the future of cannabis culture.

  The Founder's Vision:

  As the founder of GanjaMingle, I built this platform because I refused to watch our culture be pushed into the shadows any longer. As a veteran myself, I have personally sat and listened to the stories of my brothers and sisters returning home and finding a release from immense physical and mental suffering. I have witnessed firsthand the medical miracles this plant provides, offering people a way out of the dark cycles of opioid dependency and alcoholism. Cannabis is the most misunderstood medicine on earth, surrounded by the most misunderstood community.

  I didn't just build another app; I built a safe space to protect these stories. My mission is to give this incredible community the loud, proud, and secure home it deserves to heal, connect, and show the world the true heart of cannabis culture.

  Find your Vibe….Find your Tribe!
