8PG

8PG is a United States-based producer of premium cannabis events, operating primarily in Los Angeles and New York. According to its official website, the company has spent nearly a decade building a platform where cannabis brands can launch products, gain visibility, and connect with the people who move the culture — makers, buyers, budtenders, and community members. 8PG positions its events as more than trade shows, emphasizing full-scale production, a recognized VIP hospitality experience, and a community-driven atmosphere. Each event floor typically features more than 60 brands. The company's flagship initiative is King of Jars, described as the first competition 8PG has ever produced. King of Jars is built around a blind, randomized judging process: thirty brands compete in each of two categories, Rosin and Flower, and a panel of 110 judges evaluates entries privately over a 30-day window on their own setups. Winners are revealed live at a full-scale 8PG event in Los Angeles on December 12, 2026. The total prize pool is $45,000, with $20,000 for first place in each category and a $5,000 People's Choice award. The entry deadline is November 7. 8PG's recent work includes four Sterling Manor events in 2025, which the company says set a new bar for execution, detail, and consistency, blending supercars, art, food, fashion, and culture. Its New York event in April 2026 sold out, and Los Angeles is next on the calendar. The company operates across multiple states and maintains a consistent standard of production, hospitality, and experience from load-in through load-out. 8PG is privately held and does not disclose founding year, founder, or ownership details on its public pages.
