Cannabis & Networking: Tradeshows, Talk Shows & You

What If the Next Phase of Cannabis Was Built Together? We’ve been thinking a lot about connection lately.

Maybe it’s the trade show season buzz, the growing inbox of podcast invites, or the quiet moment after an event when we realize: 

this whole thing we’re building? It’s not about going bigger. It’s about getting closer.

Closer to the community. Closer to the conversations. Closer to you.

Because while products may spark curiosity, people are what build loyalty. The jokes, the DMs, the unexpected heart-to-hearts about stress, sleep, or showing up in a world that sometimes asks too much and gives too little… that’s the real fuel behind Indacloud. 

And it’s why this next chapter isn’t just about presence, it’s about participation.

The Trade Show Energy Shift

Trade shows used to be about standing behind a booth. Smiling. Pitching. Hoping someone would stop long enough to try a sample, have a chat and remember the brand.  And while there’s still a place for that… we’re craving something more human.

What if trade shows weren’t just product showcases, but places of true discovery?

Not just what we’re selling, but who we’re becoming.  What we believe in.  What lights us up.  What we’re learning. And who we’re learning from.

This year, when we show up at events, it won’t just be to stand still… it’ll be to lean in.  To listen more than we talk.  To ask better questions.  To shake hands and share seshes and spark new collaborations, not because it’s good business but because it’s better community.

Stepping Into the Conversation

Here’s something we don’t say enough: we want to talk with you, not just at you.

We’re exploring ways to step into conversations that matter: 

• Through interviews
• Guest podcast spots, 
• Guest livestream panels, 
• and maybe even a few intimate sessions of our own. 

We want to talk about the weird, the beautiful, the difficult parts of this space. Not just cannabis, but creativity. Burnout. Success. Vulnerability. Humor. Hustle.

Because let’s be honest… there’s a lot happening behind the scenes that doesn’t make it onto the grid. Josh might talk about risk-taking and staying grounded in an industry that’s constantly shifting. Tom might share stories about the products we almost released (and why we didn’t).

Mona might open up about what it’s like balancing brand-consistency with being creative in a chaotic world. These aren’t just stories….they’re starting points. And we want you in them. 

What’s In It for You?

If we do this right, you WILL feel it. Not just in the content we create but in the way we include you in it. You might hear someone ask a question on a podcast and think, “That’s what I wanted to know too!”

You might catch a behind-the-scenes clip from a trade show and feel like you were there. You might scroll past a tweet, reel, or Reddit post and realize… “Wait, they actually saw my comment??”

Because that’s the goal. To blur the line between audience and collaborator. To build in a way that leaves space for your voice and not just our branding.

Your Thoughts, Your Takes, Your Tags

So here’s our gentle call-in. If something’s been on your mind: say it. If there’s a podcast you love that could use a little Cloud energy: tag it.

If you’ve got an idea, a story, a “ what if we tried this? ” : share it. If you’re a creator, an artist, a cultivator of cloud energy: we’d love to know you.

We’re not fishing for clout. We’re listening for resonance. We’re curious about what matters to you, what kind of conversations you want to hear more of, and what moments you’d be proud to co-create.

Because, well, the best parts of Indacloud have never been the graphics or the taglines or even the gummies. It’s the unexpected magic that happens when people feel seen. 

When someone sends us a message like, “That post made me laugh on a day I really needed it.” Or when a customer turns into a collaborator.  Or when a casual tweet turns into a real-world friendship. (We’re talking about you Charles)

Those are the connections we want more of.

So, What Could This Look Like?

Maybe it looks like a series of community-submitted podcast questions. Maybe it’s you helping us choose the next brand to partner with. Maybe you hear your favorite creator on a guest episode and think, “I tagged them last month.”

Maybe you end up featured in a recap video because you pulled up to the booth and brought the vibe. Maybe we stop thinking of cannabis networking as transactional and start seeing it as transformational. And maybe… just maybe…that makes all of this feel less like a brand campaign and more like a community movement.

We’re Not Rushing This. But We’re Ready.

This isn’t a “launch.” There’s no countdown clock or press release. This is a conversation. A quiet one, perhaps. But a meaningful one.  And it starts right here.

Wanna Climb the Clouds?

No pressure. No form to fill. No strings attached.

Just a few gentle invitations:

• Tag us in a podcast you’d love to hear us on Insta, X, TikTok, Youtube / use @indacloudco or @tryindacloud
• Use the hashtag #CloudWatching when sharing stories or ideas
• Drop a comment anywhere on our socials if this blog stirred something in you
• Email us at [email protected] if you’ve got a collab, concept, or idea you think we should explore for our audience… or anything social media really!

Subject Line: IndaIdeas

We don’t know exactly where this goes. But we know it’ll be better with you in it. Let’s see what happens when cannabis networking feels less like “building a brand” and more like building a bond.

We’re listening. We’re evolving. And most of all… we’re here with you, under the same sky. Same Cloud. New chapter.

Together.
