NoCo is in so many ways the very heart of the American hemp industries because it is the soul of the global hemp community in the U.S. The NoCo experience is both an explosion of inspiration, education and connection, and the grounding goodness of coming home to hemp and its promise.
Joy Beckerman, Principal. Hemp Ace International
My role with the U.S. Hemp Roundtable has provided the honor of participating in many hemp and industry-related events across the nation over the past several years. It’s clear that the gold standard is the NoCo Hemp Expo. Every year, the programming evolves and expands to incorporate all the new and exciting innovations and insights the industry has to offer. Morris and his team do a phenomenal job at organizing and securing top notch venues, speakers, incentives, access and more. If you are in the hemp industry, or would like to get involved and learn more, this should be a necessary stop. I’m thrilled to be returning to the NoCo Hemp Expo stage in 2022 and reconnecting with everyone. Hope to see you there!
Jonathan Miller, U.S. Hemp Roundtable General Counsel
NoCo is the number one global hemp event, providing important education and bringing together the entire industry to grow the market for this critical sustainable crop.
Eric Steenstra – President of Vote Hemp
NOCO has been a consistent beacon of support for all facets of the hemp industry. The US Hemp Building Association has been so appreciative of the spotlight that NOCO has provided our emerging sector. The environment of cooperation at these events has been amazing and uplifting.
Jacob Waddell – President of the USHBA
NoCo’s the Big One, my friends. Every year, I don’t just speak and sign books, I learn. Some years I learn more about fiber, some years about seeds, some about equipment, some about terpenes. Folks who are serious about hemp don’t miss NoCo. My own niche is regenerative farm-to-product enterprises, and I always bring the latest from the field to NoCo.

NoCo Hemp Expo has established itself as the go-to North American and global hemp trade show and conference. The event brings together leaders and innovators across the supply chain to do business, share insights, and advance the industry forward into the future.
Nick Walters – Managing/Founding Partner of the National Hemp Growers Co-operative
NoCo is by far one of the most professional and largest hemp expos in the United States. As a hemp building materials manufacturer, we appreciate the attention to detail for the hemp building industry. HempWood looks forward to the next NoCo event!
Greg Wilson – President/Founder of Hempwood
NoCo Hemp Expo is the industry event where Executives, Farmers and Entrepreneurs connect to build relationships and do business. It’s amazing to watch the industry grow as we shift focus to the industrial applications of Hemp. GHA and it’s members benefit with great value from in-person events, where handshakes and business are met with respect for the planet and profitability. I’m thrilled to see what the next year’s event has in store for our members.
Mandi Kerr – Founder/CEO of Global Hemp Association
The NoCo hemp expo is THE event that connects the American hemp industry community. The annual event is something that I and my colleagues always look forward to.
Jason Amatucci – President of Virginia Hemp Coalition
As one of the original landmark events in the burgeoning hemp industry, NoCo has long been a ‘can’t miss’ expo for several years now — to greet old friends; meet new ones; engage in lively discussion around the hemp industry; and witness the evolution of the industry before our eyes over just a handful of years. The NoCo team does a great job of including stakeholders from all across the industry — innovators, thought leaders and more — to ensure robust coverage industry-wide and to continue to be a cutting-edge thought leader itself, unafraid to advocate for humanitarian, environmental and other changes for the betterment of our world.
Garrett Graff – Partner of Moye/White
I have had the honor of participating in all 7 NoCo Hemp Expos and watched the phenomenal growth over those years. Having had extensive experience coordinating over a dozen large conferences in my adult career, I know first hand the many challenges involved in making them successful. Every year under the leadership of Morris and Lizzy I have experienced them as the most well organized and professional events in the industry.
Participating in these events from the NoCo in 2014 at the Windsor tavern where over 300 people attended, to the COVID influenced NoCo 7 at the Western Stock Show, I can say that these events have set the standard for education, networking, and deal making for this industry. If you only go to only one hemp event in 2022 make it the NoCo Hemp Expo.
Zev Paiss – Founding Executive Director of the National Hemp Association
NoCo Hemp Expo brings together the hemp industry for education, networking, business, and promotion. NoCo allows for casual engagement with industry leaders and innovators from all sectors of the industry. Many thanks to all that make it possible ~ see you in March!
Jamie Campbell Petty | Executive Director of Midwest Hemp Council
The Noco Hemp Expo is simply the best, most comprehensive hemp trade show out there. It brings together not only pioneering companies in the hemp space, but also pushes the envelope by hosting thought provoking panel discussions and forums that allow the hemp industry to learn, collaborate, and grow.
As a journalist, storyteller, and hemp advocate, I am also grateful that NoCo brings everyone together into one place, making my job a little easier, like fish in a barrel.
Eric Hurlock – Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast
Every year I look forward to attending The NoCo Hemp Expo as there is no other like it for the hemp industry. It’s a stellar event that provides opportunities to learn and network. As a speaker I am always so happy to see this event well attended, lively and fun. I’ve never missed this event and I don’t plan to!
Marielle Weintraub, Ph.D., President of U.S. Hemp Authority
It all started back in 2014 with the Windsor Noco show, that was the beginning. What an amazing journey it has been..Noco has brought the hemp world together for so many wonderful people to see how we all can help each other and this beautiful, yet damaged planet. The expos have provided education, health awareness, compassion , knowledge, meeting new people who are on the same path to make this world better, and some “wild” adventures as well. Thank you Morris, Lizzy, Lori and the rest of the Noco team for providing these venues for all of us and making these events the greatest hemp shows on the planet…keep on keepin on….peace and health to all.
“Wild Bill” Founder of Colorado Hemp Project
NoCo is the first and foremost event for hemp in North America. There is no place I’d rather be to connect with so many hempsters in one place.
Paul Benhaim – Chairman of The Hemp Plastic Company
NoCo Hemp Expo continues to be one of the best-attended shows in the hemp industry. NoCo is a leader in relevant educational presentations that include current regulatory updates and sustainability discussions about the many uses of hemp.
Asa Waldstein – Principal, Supplement Advisory Group
“CO Hemp Company, through its events including the Winter Hemp Summit and the NoCo Hemp Expo, focuses holistically on the entire hemp industry and supply chain, not just a narrow ingredient focus, i.e., CBD. More real business gets done at these events because of the quality of the participants, including leaders and veterans in the trade.”
Robert Hoban, President and Founder, Hoban Law Group
“NoCo provides unmatched education, networking and other opportunities where people can come together to learn about the growing industry with a plethora of hemp professionals and have a lot of fun in the process”
Annie Rouse – Co-founder Anavii Market
“NoCo Expo has been a “home base” for our hemp businesses over the past 5 years. Our Return on Investment from our sponsorships has been well worth it, as we have picked up huge amounts of leads at the show resulting in a number of major accounts. Furthermore, the visibility gained in the industry outside of the expo event has been a less anticipated perk. We get calls throughout the year from interested parties who found our brand through NoCo marketing.”
Dexter Rice – SubZero Extracts / Farmer, Innovator, Visionary
“The Northern Colorado Hemp Expo is an absolutely fantastic event, professionally organized and operated, and held in a beautiful venue and location. I look forward to exhibiting at NoCo Hemp Expo each year, due to the positive energy and passion that farmers, entrepreneurs, researchers, vendors, and public attendees bring to this amazing conference. The perfect networking and educational event, helping re-establish hemp as the most vital plant on the planet.”
Darrell Koerner, Specialty Sales Manager
Chelsea Green Publishing, Vermont

“I was very happy to visit Noco Hemp Expo and it fully satisfied my expectations of what a hemp fair should look like! Big up, especially for the hemp breakfast! Thank you for inspiring times, interesting speeches from hemp professionals sharing their valuable knowledge. It is clear hemp fair organizers in Europe have a few things to learn from USA.”
Hana Gabrielová, CEO Hempoint, Czech Republic
“Couldn’t get off the Expo floor! The buzz and the consistent path of visitors to our Global Hemp Village stand was constant for the full two days, with many interesting contacts made. If you’re in hemp don’t miss NoCo Hemp Expo.”
Kehrt Reyher,

“Eurofins BioDiagnostics is a newcomer to the testing of hemp seed for germination, seed health and cultivar purity and the 2016 NoCo Hemp Expo was a tremendous help in getting the word out to growers and companies about our services. Having a booth at the Expo provided us the means by which we could reach many potential clients in a short span of time. It was well worth it.”
