International Industry Meetings: Exchange at the Highest Level

Germany remains a key player in the European cannabis industry. The ICBC Berlin (April 29-30, 2025) is the leading international event for the German market, bringing together businesses, investors, and policymakers. Market developments are discussed here, partnerships are forged, and the next steps for the industry are shaped.

Focusing on the medical sector, the Medical Cannabis Congress (June 12-13, 2025) in Berlin provides a dedicated platform for physicians, scientists, and pharmacists to discuss the latest advancements in cannabis therapy.
Similarly, the German Pain and Palliative Care Congress (March 12-16, 2025) in Frankfurt will explore the role of medical cannabis—especially in pain management, which has gained new momentum following regulatory changes last year.
The discussion on Europe’s cannabis market extends beyond national borders. In London, Cannabis Europa (June 24-25, 2025) will focus on regulatory developments, economic opportunities, and industry challenges across the continent. This event is particularly relevant for companies and investors looking to expand internationally.

Germany as a Hub for Cannabis Events

Germany continues to establish itself as a central hub for cannabis events. Mary Jane Berlin (June 19-22, 2025) remains one of Germany’s largest hemp fairs and is unique in covering all aspects of the industry: adult-use cannabis, CBD, industrial hemp, and medical cannabis. The event attracts tens of thousands of visitors annually—including consumers, activists, and businesses—making it a key meeting point for the entire industry.

For professionals in the pharmaceutical industry and the pharmacy sector, Expopharm in Düsseldorf (September 18-20, 2025) is an essential event. With a growing focus on medical cannabis, the role of pharmacies in patient care is becoming increasingly significant. This trade show serves as a key platform for stakeholders involved in the distribution, prescription, and application of medical cannabis.

Looking Beyond Borders: Global Highlights

For those looking to connect with the international cannabis industry, MJBizCon in Las Vegas (December 2-5, 2025) is an unmissable event. As the world’s largest cannabis trade show, it attracts tens of thousands of attendees from all sectors of the industry—from producers and brand developers to investors and policymakers.

The Future of Cannabis: What Lies Ahead in 2025

The cannabis industry remains in motion, and 2025 promises to be a year of exciting developments. The range of upcoming events highlights the industry’s dynamism and innovative potential—both in Germany and globally.

Whether it’s regulatory milestones, medical breakthroughs, or new business models, the coming months will be pivotal. We look forward to following these developments with you and engaging in discussions at one of these key events.
