Trends and Innovations

The focus on cultivar-specific pressing parameters has reached new heights, with competitors demonstrating remarkable precision in their approach to different strains. Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all methodologies.

Cold room tech dominated conversations, with several competitors bringing evidence of their extended cold chain processes—from harvest through washing, drying, and pressing. The proof was in the pudding (or rather, the rosin), with these entries showcasing exceptional terpene preservation.

Several award-winning entries featured innovative twists on these methods, demonstrating that as this craft evolves, sometimes the path forward involves reinventing the past.

As the dust settles on Masters of Rosin 2025, all eyes are already turning to next year. Whatever form it takes, one thing is certain: the Masters of Rosin has established itself as the premier gathering for solventless enthusiasts and professionals alike. In an industry often fragmented by geography and regulation, this event has become a unifying force that pushes everyone to elevate their craft.

For those who missed out this year—start preparing now for 2026. Something tells us spots will fill even faster as word continues to spread about what went down in New York this year. The solventless revolution isn't just continuing—it's accelerating, and Masters of Rosin is at the forefront.
