MJBizCon is a weekend full of panels, booths, networking, and more. Make sure to utilize your MJBizCon Agenda and the Attendee Planner to be the most efficient with your time.

The app even allows you to create your own agenda that you can review throughout the conference. Google Calendar is also a great way to plan your day and to meet with someone.
