The CDays Bilbao 2026 will take place on April 16, 2026 at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre – marking the start of an intensive cannabis weekend in Spain. While Spannabis is designed as a major public trade fair, CDays is specifically aimed at professionals: physicians, scientists, business representatives, regulators, and industry associations. The one-day congress brings together research findings, market data, and regulatory developments from several countries in one place – ideal for anyone who wants to stay informed quickly and thoroughly.
What to expect
The CDays program combines scientific presentations with practical discussions on current industry challenges. The agenda includes panel discussions on European regulation, specialized sessions on medical cannabis, industrial hemp, and cannabinoid product development, as well as practice-oriented workshops on quality assurance and GMP compliance.
The conference has established itself as a recognized meeting point for professional exchange. Here, researchers present current studies, manufacturers report on market trends, and representatives from regulatory bodies provide insights into regulatory developments. Particularly valuable is the overview of perspectives from Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Latin America – all compressed into one day.
The target audience consists of professionals interested in scientific depth and regulatory frameworks. Anyone interested in medical applications, research, or industrial manufacturing of cannabis products will find relevant contacts and current knowledge here.
Location and travel
The venue is the Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC) in Bilbao, Spain. The city is easily accessible by plane – Bilbao Airport (Bilbao-Loiu) is located about 9 kilometers north of the city center. From there, buses and taxis run to the city center and to the BEC. Alternatively, there are train connections from other Spanish cities and from France.
The BEC is located on the outskirts of Bilbao and is accessible by public transport. Those arriving by car will find parking on-site. For visitors from Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, a combination of flight and rental car or the use of long-distance buses is often worthwhile.
Tickets and prices
Information on ticket prices and ticket categories will be available shortly on the official event page. As a rule, organizers offer early-bird discounts for early bookers. It’s worth keeping an eye on the event page or signing up for the organizer’s newsletter to not miss any offers.
Why this event?
CDays has established itself as an indispensable professional congress – not least because it specifically appeals to a professional audience and combines scientific quality with practical relevance. In 2026, the event gains additional significance because Spannabis is moving to Bilbao, making the region a cannabis hotspot in Southern Europe.
For visitors from the DACH region, the combination of CDays and the Spannabis weekend is particularly attractive: you get scientific and regulatory depth in one day, then can dive into the Spannabis weekend and learn about trends, products, and end-customer marketing. That’s a complete industry overview in a short time – and a rare opportunity to capture European cannabis developments in one place.
Moreover, such congresses offer invaluable networking opportunities. Those working in research, medicine, or industry will meet colleagues and partners from different countries and fields here.
