What were the best cannabis conferences to take place in 2024? Read on to find out who made the cut!
Cannabis conferences are more than just a Business-to-Business meet-up for aspiring cannabis entrepreneurs. These events create a think tank for driving the industry forward, and in return, providing cannabis enthusiasts with new and refined CBD/THC products.
Here is a round-up of recent conferences that took place in the United States and within the cool confines of Europe. You don’t want to miss this one!
These conferences had heads turning, and it’s simple to see why that’s the case. These events were packed with prolific leaders within the commercial and agricultural cannabis industries, and the workshops held made sure to keep attendees informed.
A few notable cannabis conferences include:
| Conference | Venue | Location | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cannafest Prague | VA Expo Praha Letňany | Prague (Czech Republic) | 1-3 November 2024 |
| Green Label Expo | World Market Center | Las Vegas (Nevada) | 23-24 October 2024 |
| NECANN Expo | NYS Fairgrounds – Center of Progress | Syracuse (New York State) | 25-26 October 2024 |
While a cannabis conference is obviously focused on weed, these events see overlapping brands, and many brands that are unique to said region. The grass might be greener in the good ol’ US of A, but many European countries have pushed the needle in terms of cannabis technology refinements, and darn near impressive bud.
Here are some highlights from each event:
The event’s lifeblood, its “exhibit halls,” hosts neat rows of not just local, but international exhibitors from all over the world. This is where Cannafest really delivers. This is where products and technologies are placed on full-display, in return, highlighting the forward-thinking approach of domestic and international cannabis brands.
Some popular exhibitions include:
| Showcase | The Rundown |
|---|---|
| Cannabis Oils and Hemp Products | Multiple CBD oil products, and THC extracts, were on full display at Prague’s Cannfest. These products come from leading companies from both European vendors, and a handful of American cannabis companies. |
| Cutting-edge Cannabis Technologies | Learning about the technologies for growing, processing, and consuming cannabis. From high-tech cultivation tools to precision extraction methods, Cannafest shines a light on the tech that's advancing our industry, and our lives, year-on-year. |
| Cannabis Varieties | Cannafest is an occasion to investigate novel varieties from both regional and worldwide producers. Most exhibitors almost always have samples to share, and you have the opportunity to engage in one-on-one consultations with specialists about the cultivation of cannabis, and choosing a strain that is right for you. |
Green Label Expo, which is actually run alongside the prolific Green Label Summit, always offers a little bit of everything – for business owners and smokers alike. We found the pace of this expo to reflect the general hustle and bustle of Vegas, so we were always on our toes.
Here are some of our Green Label Expo Highlights:
When it comes to an All-American cannabis expo like this, you know what you’re signing up for. With so many users jumping between broad-spectrum and full-spectrum CBD products, it’s only sensible that the range of products would extend beyond the average oil or balm.
We got our hands on some outstanding CBD products, from popular brands like:
Not only were there delicious CBD edibles and infused vape products, but the massive line-up of CBD balms, massage oils, bath bombs, suppositories, and pet-friendly CBD products were an absolute treat.
Not only were these products readily available for purchase, there were many demo testers freely available for attendees! To top it all off, multiple workshops actually went into detail surrounding their products’ effectiveness of cannabidiol on general health, as well as other common ailments.
While NECANN is definitely more tailored to the B2B side of things, this event has been a cornerstone of New York’s legalized marijuana industry.
Attendees were treated to in-depth explanations of New York’s cannabis laws, and how prospective business owners can expand their business within the competitive East Coast cannabis market.
Like Green Label Expo, NECANN Expo also offered a wellness highlight to their event. This component was aimed at bringing awareness to the holistic nature of cannabis usage, when coupled with a healthy lifestyle. Overall, NECANN will go down as one of the most impactful cannabis expos of 2024, and we cannot wait to see what 2025’s line-up will be!
Whether they be B2B or tailored towards the average marijuana and hemp user, these events will undoubtedly push the needle, and thus, allowing you to enjoy all the perks associated with broad-spectrum and full-spectrum CBD products.
