Summer Highlights: Our Recommendations for Cannabis Events to Attend

The German Cannabis Event Summer 2024

We kick off with the largest hemp fair – Mary Jane, which will be held for the first time at its new venue, Messe Berlin, from June 14 to 16. There’s truly something for everyone, with 400 different companies from the industry showcasing their products and expertise about the hemp plant to an anticipated 40,000 attendees. The accompanying conference will offer in-depth content through expert talks, panel discussions, and keynote speeches, including contributions from Bundestag members. A dedicated festival will enhance the ambiance, with a variety of live acts performing throughout the three days.

About two months later, on August 2 and 3, the HAMCAN in Hamburg in Hamburg provides many learning opportunities under the open sky. At the conference, over 40 experts from sectors such as medicinal cannabis, industry, marketing, cultivation, and politics will discuss their experiences and insights. Visitors can get an early look at the latest industry products at an exhibition held in the former main customs office at the Hamburg Port.

If traveling to the north seems too far, the Cannafair from August 23 to 25 at the Mitsubishi Electric Halle in Düsseldorf will cover the latest developments in the industry. While the fair focuses on exhibitors and networking, the “Canference” provides a platform for guests to engage with cannabis experts from across Germany.

For Industry Insiders

Those involved in the cannabis, hemp, and CBD industries can network at the Cannabis Business Europe on June 4 and 5 in Frankfurt am Main. As the sector’s largest trade show, it offers numerous opportunities to connect with other companies involved in cultivation, technology, distribution, and research. Workshops and presentations will cover sustainable cultivation, innovations, and legal frameworks.

The Cannabis Business Expo, taking place from September 19 to 21 in Dortmund, brings together experts from the entire supply chain—from cultivation to distribution. Highlights this year include discussions on the legalization of cannabis for recreational use in Germany and other European countries, as well as emerging trends and challenges in medicinal cannabis.

Exploring Green Developments in Europe

The German cannabis summer impresses with numerous events but exploring beyond our borders can be equally rewarding. For researchers in the field of cannabis, the International Cannabinoid Research Society Symposium from June 30 to July 5 in Salamanca, Spain, is a must-visit. Participants will share and debate their latest research through over 50 lectures and more than 200 poster presentations.

For those considering a trip to the British Isles: Cannabis Europa, taking place on June 25 and 26 in London, offers entrepreneurs and enthusiasts insights into the opportunities and challenges of the global cannabis industry, with over 50 exhibitors from more than 37 countries.

For those seeking a large-scale event, Cannafest in Prague from November 1 to 3 is the place to be. As one of the world’s largest fair for recreational and medicinal cannabis, it’s an ideal venue to observe firsthand the evolving cannabis landscape, especially following the Czech government’s recent moves towards decriminalization.

We are thrilled about the ongoing developments in the cannabis world and the dynamic changes spurred by Germany’s cannabis legislation. We look forward to seeing where the industry’s journey takes us in the upcoming months and hope to meet some of you at these events. Until then—see you there!
