BUSINESS
Legal cannabis has an estimated $10 billion annual economic impact, and the sector is rapidly professionalizing. More than one thousand entrepreneurs and investors will gather to forecast trends in today’s fragmented regulatory landscape, where the arrival of mainstream capital is obliterating past models. The Summit looks at what’s next for non-profits, venture-backed startups, publicly traded companies and crowd-funding. Panelists of active, accredited investors and successful entrepreneurs cut through the hype.

TECHNOLOGY
High technology guarantees the near future of cannabis looks nothing like the present. Get the complete picture of the next generation of consumer marijuana apps and business services disrupting and streamlining the space with business models akin to Uber, Grubhub, Snapchat, Salesforce.com, Yelp and others. Explore shifts in verticals such as extraction, cultivation, vaporizers, and POS, CMS, and auditing systems. Peak over the horizon and future-proof your business model.

MEDIA
The internet and the broader media is the single greatest force shaping the destiny of cannabis consumers and the companies selling to them. Meet the influencers and review the state of the art of cannabis communications, focusing on: social media, marketing, activism, modern branding, editorial trends, the entry of Fortune 500 brands into the space, and the normalization of cannabis.

International Cannabis Business Conference 2016
2016-10-13 - 2016-10-14 | Hyatt Regency Vancouver, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Canada, particularly, Vancouver, British Columbia, has been at the forefront of progress cannabis policies. The landslide election of the Liberal Party last year shook up the world, as the party, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, became the first political party voted into power with a pro-cannabis legalization platform. The Trudeau Administration has reaffirmed the government’s intention to move forward with legalization, creating great opportunities for the cannabis industry and community.
The International Cannabis Business Conference, with successful, sold-out events in San Francisco, California and Portland, Oregon, is excited to venture further north into the great city of Vancouver. With Berlin, Germany, already scheduled for April 11-12, 2017, it is clear that the ICBC is THE international cannabis event for anyone in the cannabis industry or thinking of joining the industry.
Growers, processors, retailers, activists, owners of ancillary businesses and those looking to learn more about the cannabis industry can greatly benefit from the ICBC. The ICBC always garners a tremendous amount of media attention as we are a unique event that combines business, politics, activism and culture. We can expect our Vancouver event to earn extensive media attention due to the timely nature of the event and the fact that our speakers and partners are always newsworthy and top-notch.
Unlike other industry events, our vendor spots are very limited, allowing attendees and vendors to interact closely throughout the event. This is not an expo where you are competing with a hundred or more other exhibitors; you will have an opportunity to showcase your business directly to attendees. With Canada helping lead the way and the historic nature of this event, this is not the marijuana conference to miss.

LIFT Cannabis Expo
2016-09-17 - 2016-09-18 | Vancouver Convention Centre, Vancouver, Canada
About the Lift Cannabis Expo

We set out to create a landmark event for the Canadian cannabis market with our first Lift Expo in Toronto this past May. Having sold out the show to over 130 exhibitors from across North America and Europe more than two months out, we felt we were on the right track. Now that the show has wrapped and we witnessed 10,000 excited and engaged attendees come through the doors to help make the expo Canada’s best cannabis show ever (view highlights here), we know we’re building something that Canadians want and need.
As the Canadian market continues to grow, fuelled by the federal government’s ongoing support for legalization, we’re excited to now invite you to join us in Vancouver on September 17 and 18, 2016 for our second Lift Cannabis Expo.
Vancouver has a colorful and proud history of being at the forefront of cannabis commerce, innovation, and activism not just in Canada, but the world. What’s more, the city’s recent (and unprecedented) move to regulate cannabis storefronts is once again positioning Vancouver as an innovator in sensible drug policy and industry. Add to this the federal government’s requirement to improve access to Canada’s existing world-leading medical cannabis program (an improvement which many speculate will incorporate home-growing), and opportunities will undoubtedly be very interesting and substantial come September.
The Lift Cannabis Expo is an important step in showing the world the professionalism and maturity of the expanding cannabis industry. By getting involved in Vancouver’s Lift Expo, you’ll be joining leading businesses from around the globe showcasing some of the best products and services the industry has to offer to thousands of eager and curious consumers.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity!

Canna Trade 2016
2016-09-02 - 2016-09-04 | Stadthalle Dietikon, Zurich, Switzerland
We have the pleasure to welcome you to CannaTrade, the oldest hemp fair in Europe! The history of CannaTrade started 2001, in the fair halls of BEA Expo Bern, as a result of the Swiss Hemp Days in 1999 and 2000. The following editions of CannaTrade in 2008 and 2009 were presented at the exhibition halls of Basel. Caused by the hemp related political situation, we decided to organize the fair CannaTrade in a two-years-rhythm. Since 2012, we do this successfully, at Stadthalle Dietikon/Zurich.
The current turn of political events, especial in the USA, raises hope again for a soon (?!) ending of the repression and thereby a new chance for CannaTrade to bloom like in “good old times”… It stays exiting, anyway! For now, we wish you a wonderful time at the up-coming international hemp fair CannaTrade, from the 2nd to the 4th of September 2016, in Dietikon/Zurich.

All information about signing up as an exhibitor or business visitor you can find here, and tickets (for visitors) you can get from now on here: www.starticket.ch
