IBN (InvestorBrandNetwork) to Serve as Media Sponsor for ZJ Events’ Alt Pro Expo and BizCann Expo in 2025

IBN (“InvestorBrandNetwork”), an innovative corporate communications firm and content distributor, is pleased to announce today that it is collaborating with ZJ Events LLC  (“ZJ Events”) as the media sponsor in 2025 for the multi-location Alternative Products Expo (“Alt Pro Expo”) series across North, Latin and South America and the BizCann Expo (“BizCann”) in Medellin, Colombia.

Given the long-running success of earlier editions, ZJ Events’ productions have forged a strong reputation as flagship event series in the global counterculture industry, and have garnered a unique reputation as revolutionary business networking festivals featuring hundreds of top manufacturers, buyers, suppliers, innovators, vendors, researchers, policy advocates, legislators and lawyers, budding entrepreneurs, and seasoned industry professionals.

By providing access to world-class educational and networking opportunities, AltProExpo events have generated significant value addition in both traditional and emerging markets including Medellin, Miami, Nashville and Houston. Attendees harness invaluable insights, receive increased market exposure, and build exciting global connections.

As the premier event in the traditionally lucrative South and Latin American region, BizCann offers a bridge to the rapidly emerging North American market, and a global network of buyers, suppliers, and retailers. The event series elevates canna-business opportunities in the region and drives a culture of business and policy collaboration.

  • Alt Pro Expo Medellin (March 1-2, 2025)
  • Alt Pro Expo Miami (April 3-5, 2025)

In addition, IBN’s social media accounts will broadcast live updates to more than 2 million followers across a variety of platforms.
