The World Class Cannabis Business Europe Congress takes place in Frankfurt am Main for the first time in 2026 – a two-day B2B conference for executives, investors, and industry experts from the cannabis and pharmaceutical sectors. On May 19 and 20, 2026, decision-makers gather to discuss current market trends, regulatory developments, and cross-border business opportunities. Anyone working or looking to work in the European cannabis industry will find a structured framework for professional exchange and concrete business contacts here.
What to expect
The conference focuses on medicinal cannabis and the European market – not on recreational or lifestyle aspects. The program combines several formats:
- Keynotes from established industry leaders on market development and regulation
- Panel discussions with experts from industry, authorities, and science
- Workshops on specific topics such as licensing, quality standards, and cross-border trade
- Networking sessions for direct business conversations between exhibitors and visitors
Key focuses are the harmonization of European regulatory standards, opportunities in the medicinal sector, and practical questions about market entry. The format is exclusively for professional visitors – pharmacies, manufacturers, distributors, investors, government representatives, and consultants are the target audience. Anyone working professionally with cannabis regulation or business will find relevant contacts and current information here.
Location and travel
Frankfurt am Main is a strategically sensible choice for a B2B conference as Europe’s financial hub and international logistics center. The city has a dense network of hotels, restaurants, and transport connections. The exact venue will be announced soon – the official website will be updated as soon as the location is confirmed.
Frankfurt is easily accessible by train from across Germany and Europe. Frankfurt International Airport (Fraport) offers connections worldwide. Central event venues are typically easily accessible by public transport (U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram). Those traveling should check the travel options on the event page once the venue is announced.

Why this event?
The World Class Cannabis Business Europe Congress is one of the few established conferences that explicitly focuses on the European medicinal market – not on recreation or lifestyle. This makes it relevant for professionals working with regulatory issues, licenses, or international business relationships. The choice of Frankfurt as the venue underscores the professional standards and focus on business decision-makers.
In a market that remains highly fragmented in Europe, such a format offers the opportunity to make contacts across national borders and learn from best practices in other countries. Whether regulatory issues, quality standards, or cross-border supply chains – the topics are relevant for anyone working professionally in the industry.
