BERLIN, Germany – The International Cannabis Business Conference is coming back to Berlin, Germany on July 19-20, 2022. Offering world-class industry networking opportunities, the Berlin International Cannabis Business Conference is the largest B2B cannabis trade event in Europe and is also the longest-running cannabis B2B conference on the continent. The conference will once again feature a unique blend of cannabis policy, advocacy, industry, and networking.

“We are particularly excited about this year’s conference in Berlin given the favorable political climate for cannabis legalization. It is going to be extra special for our team to offer world-class cannabis industry and policy education, networking, and entertainment to attendees at such a crucial juncture for Europe’s emerging cannabis industry,” says Alex Rogers, founder of the International Cannabis Business Conference.

In addition to the Berlin B2B event, the International Cannabis Business Conference will also offer a one-day Global Investment Forum (GIF) on July 18, 2022. The International Cannabis Business Conference Global Investment Forum in Berlin will feature hand-picked cannabis companies participating in a pitch session in front of top investors on the International Cannabis Business Conference Main Stage. It is a tremendous opportunity for cannabis companies in the emerging cannabis industry to showcase their products/services in front of seasoned industry investors. The pitch session is also open to service providers looking for reliable and high-end clients.

Germany is home to the largest economy in the European Union and is poised to serve as the cannabis industry capital of Europe going forward. The cannabis industry is evolving rapidly in Germany, with the country’s medical cannabis program increasing in size with every passing day.

Cannabis industry opportunities that are popping up in Germany and on the European continent have tremendous profit potential, and the Global Investment Forum is the perfect place for entrepreneurs to try to secure capital to take their pursuits to the next level. It is also an unparalleled opportunity for investors to learn more about pre-vetted investment opportunities and for industry service providers to find reliable and high-end clients.

“We know how hard it is for quality investors to link up with vetted cannabis industry companies offering valuable investment opportunities,” Rogers stated. “That is why we are bringing the Global Investment Forum back to Berlin. It will be a prime networking opportunity for cannabis industry investors, entrepreneurs, and industry service providers alike.”

The International Cannabis Business Conference is the leading B2B cannabis event series on earth. Events have been held in the United States, Canada, Spain, Germany, and Switzerland. Additional locations in other countries are being identified and will be announced in the future. The topics covered at the Global Investment Forum and conference via panels and presentations will be led by the top cannabis experts in the global cannabis space.

What Are The Best Cannabis Events In Germany?

Written by Johnny Green on September 28, 2021. Posted in Business.

It is an extremely exciting time to be a cannabis enthusiast. Thanks to the hard work of countless cannabis activists, cannabis reform continues to spread across the planet. Cannabis is now legally accessible for medical and/or adult-use purposes in more jurisdictions than ever before since the dawn of prohibition.

Momentum for cannabis reform is particularly strong in Europe where safe access to medical cannabis can be found in most countries, especially in Germany. Germany is now the cannabis capital of the European continent, at least from an industry standpoint. Adult-use legalization in Germany will hopefully happen sooner rather than later.

The rise in cannabis reform has been paralleled by a rise in interest in all things cannabis. People want to learn how to cultivate cannabis, about cannabis science, the latest cannabis products, how to get into the cannabis industry, and much more. It can be very difficult for people to know what information is valuable and what is not, and it’s particularly difficult to network in a real-life setting with other like-minded cannabis enthusiasts in a meaningful way.

The best way to learn a lot about cannabis in a short amount of time while making a lot of new cannabis friends and colleagues is to attend an in-person event. There’s really no adequate substitute for attending an in-person cannabis event, as so much happens when cannabis-curious newbies, leading experts, and folks that are in between are all under one roof socializing, teaching, and learning.

There are many cannabis events out there these days of all types and sizes, however, not all of them are created equal. Some events are the real deal while many prove to be nothing more than hype. If someone attends a cannabis event they obviously want it to be worth the effort on their part. The last thing that someone wants to do is to buy tickets and travel to a cannabis event just for it to turn out to be lackluster (or worse).

The recent International Cannabis Business Conference in Berlin, which included our Global Investment Forum, brought together entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers from all over the planet. Below is a recap video of our 2021 conference in Berlin:

One of the many highlights from our conference in Berlin was a truly historic bipartisan political panel featuring current German lawmakers discussing cannabis policy The panel can be viewed below (the panel was held in the German language):

Another event that we are particularly excited about is the Mary Jane Berlin hemp fair coming up on October 22-24, 2021. Mary Jane Berlin is a C2C event and festival and includes an extensive cultural and entertainment program that is offered in conjunction with exhibitors, food stands, live concerts, and congresses on therapeutic properties.

Below is a video recap of Mary Jane Berlin’s last event:

We are very excited about the strong bond that our two events have created and the strategic partnership that we have formed. Mary Jane Berlin is Europe’s fastest-growing C2C cannabis fair and pairs perfectly with our flagship B2B conference in Berlin to provide a comprehensive cannabis experience.

If you want to learn more about cannabis and network with like-minded cannabis enthusiasts, make sure to check out the upcoming Mary Jane Berlin hemp fair and festival. The event is expected to have over 35,000 cannabis-related products on display and it’s almost guaranteed that there will be something that very few cannabis enthusiasts have ever seen before. You can find out more about Mary Jane Berlin, including how to purchase tickets, at their website: https://maryjane-berlin.com/

In addition to the Mary Jane event, also make sure to mark July 19-20, 2022 on your calendars because the International Cannabis Business Conference will be coming back to Berlin and bringing with it our signature blend of industry, policy, and entertainment. Attend both the Mary Jane Berlin C2C fair and our B2B conference in Berlin to take your cannabis pursuits to the next level!

German Politicians Gather To Discuss Cannabis For Historical Meeting In Berlin

Written by Marguerite Arnold on August 18, 2021. Posted in Berlin, Politics.

As the German election nears, the International Cannabis Business Conference hosts a unique panel of politicians from across the political spectrum to discuss the future of cannabis politics aus Deutschland

Germany is facing a national election at the end of September.

This is a watershed moment in German politics. Germans are going to the polls to decide the next steps of a country that has been helmed by Angela Merkel, herself a unique figure in German politics for the last generation (literally 16 years). There are a lot of issues at stake.

Cannabis reform is just one of them. However, it is a big one.

As a result (and as a first of its kind) the International Cannabis Business Conference is hosting a unique event this year. Moderated by Jürgen Neumeyer, the managing director of the BvCW, a trade group for German cannabis firms, this fascinating hour-long panel will feature top politicians and policymakers from across the spectrum debating the future of legalization in Germany.

From Erwin Rüddel, the CDU-affiliated chair of the German Bundestag’s Committee on Health to politicians and representatives from the SPD, Die Linke and the Greens, the conversation will focus on how to move the needle forward in a political and economic climate that so far has been challenging.

Will Germany follow Switzerland, Portugal, and Holland into a recreational trial in the next several years, or will the question of greater normalization if not full boat recreational reform languishes in more political wrangling and delay?

But this is hardly the only issue on the table. What is the future of medical cannabis reform in a country where most patients still cannot find doctors, much less gain approvals if they have statutory health care – and how can needed social reforms in health insurance create a better environment for the chronically ill and those who need access now but cannot get it?

This entire conversation of course is taking place at a time when cannabis by prescription has been legit for over four years, yet the drug is also not even decriminalized (putting patients at even greater risk).

Beyond the medical discussion, CBD also still languishes in a strange space, even as other countries in Europe begin to experiment with recreational trials.

Neumeyer will guide the panelists through the bigger issues at the table – as well as try to determine a path if not a timeline for future reform. Held on the first day of the International Cannabis Business Conference B2B conference on August 26th, this is a first-of-its-kind event that should not be missed.

Book your last-minute tickets now to the International Cannabis Business Conference when it returns to Berlin August 25-27.
