About Us

Who We Are

We bring the Cannabis Industry togheter.

Founded in Arizona in 2016, MITA had a simple goal: bring the cannabis industry together in a way that’s practical, human, and business-moving. Over the years, we built a proven community model through consistent events, trusted relationships, and ongoing education.

Today, with that foundation in place, we’re scaling the same model nationwide as MITA USA, and building the infrastructure to connect markets internationally. Our focus is to reduce friction between manufacturers and opportunities, so geography isn’t a barrier to growth.

MITA USA creates a living network, powered by a year-round ecosystem of events, education, media, and member-to-member introductions, so businesses can build relationships with clarity, stay ahead of an evolving regulatory landscape, and expand through real community. What began as a simple mission in Arizona has become something bigger: a place where trust, access, and real opportunity move the industry forward, the same way we’ve done from the start, through people.
Together, let’s shape the future of cannabis!
