The EVO NXT 2026 takes place on April 17 and 18, 2026 in Prague and is aimed at professionals from manufacturing, retail, and regulation. The conference focuses on vaping, harm reduction, and cannabis products – a format that is still rare in Europe and becomes particularly relevant for decision-makers in procurement, compliance, and product development.
What to expect
EVO NXT is a strictly B2B-oriented conference. This means: no walk-in public, but professional discussions between buyers, manufacturers, and suppliers. The agenda covers two core topics.
Vape categories and product innovation: The first focus is on nicotine and cannabis vapes as well as disposables. In parallel, new cannabinoids such as HHC, Delta-8, or CBD vape formats are discussed – categories that are still growing in many European markets and becoming strategically important for retailers and manufacturers.
Regulation and market development: The second focus is on the legal situation in the EU, United Kingdom, and Eastern Europe. Experts present current changes in packaging, advertising restrictions, age limits, and ingredient regulations – knowledge that is essential for compliance teams.
Additionally, there is an exhibition area where suppliers from Asia and Europe present their products and services. A separate deal area enables focused buyer conversations without distractions. If you want to build vape assortments or review existing partnerships, you can compare multiple manufacturers over two days and initiate business deals.
Location and travel
Prague is strategically chosen as the venue. The Czech capital is centrally located in Europe – travel from Germany, Poland, Scandinavia, and the Baltics is short. At the same time, the Czech Republic pursues a liberal cannabis policy, making the country a hub for European cannabis companies.
Prague has good public transport connections and several international airports. You can find the exact venue address on the official EVO NXT website.
Tickets and prices
EVO NXT typically offers different ticket categories: exhibitor tickets, buyer tickets, and possibly early-bird rates. Since the conference is B2B-focused, access is restricted to relevant professional groups – registration with company details is standard. You can find exact prices and ticket types on the event page.
Why this event?
EVO NXT 2026 is particularly valuable for three target groups:
- Cannabis companies with vape plans: If you want to add vape products to your range, you’ll find manufacturers, suppliers, and compliance expertise in one place.
- Established retailers: Buyers can compare suppliers, explore new categories like HHC or modern CBD formats, and establish trading partnerships for the second half of 2026.
- Regulation and compliance teams: The conference provides an overview of EU-wide trends and national differences – valuable for companies serving multiple markets.
What sets EVO NXT apart from other cannabis events: the narrow focus on vaping and harm reduction is not yet standard in Germany and Europe. Most major trade shows (such as Cannafair or Expogrow) are more broadly positioned. EVO NXT instead offers depth in a rapidly growing category – ideal if you want to invest specifically in vape products.
The two-day structure enables focused conversations without overwhelming participants. If you have the time and budget for a trip to Prague, you can learn more about European vape markets in 48 hours than at many larger, non-specialized trade shows.
