About Bak'd On The Bay
Bak'd On The Bay is the first cannabis-focused event planned for the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie, Pennsylvania—built around education, discovery, business participation, entertainment and relationships that continue after event day.
Who Is Organizing The Event
Cannadispo
Cannadispo is the public cannabis-focused ecosystem where attendees, vendors, sponsors, speakers and performers can discover the event and connect.
Powered By Beslyfe
Beslyfe provides the broader community and opportunity platform behind profiles, applications, messaging, groups, recommendations and future ecosystems.
Bayfront Convention Center
The event is scheduled for the waterfront convention center at 1 Sassafras Pier in Erie. Review arrival and venue information.
Why This Event Matters
Useful Information, Not Guesswork
The Education Station is designed for professional speakers, practical discussions and audience questions across cannabis, hemp, wellness, policy and business.
Curated Participation
Vendor and sponsor applications are reviewed before approval. The goal is a cleaner, more professional event that prioritizes quality over filling every space.
Connections Beyond One Day
Cannadispo profiles, the directory, feed, groups and messages allow relationships created at the event to continue after the convention center closes.
A New Waterfront Experience
Bak'd On The Bay is intended to create a historic cannabis-focused education and community experience at one of Erie's most recognizable waterfront venues.
How Confirmations Are Published
Submitted
Businesses and professionals submit an application, profile information, any required agreement and supporting media.
Evaluated By The Event Team
The organizer reviews fit, availability, package details, schedule needs and contract acceptance before changing an application status.
Approved Profiles Become Public
Confirmed participants are published from approved profiles. Requested sponsor tiers or preferred times are not treated as confirmed until approved.
No Fake Empty Sections
When a category has no approved public profiles yet, the website shows an honest announcement status rather than an empty heading or invented lineup.
Public-proof rule: Cannadispo distinguishes between confirmed facts, approved public profiles and plans that are still being finalized. Additional speakers, public officials, sponsors, vendors and performers are published only when confirmation is complete.
