The Most Important International Event in Cannabis

The emerging legal cannabis industry is more exciting now than at any other
point in human history. More jurisdictions permit cannabis production and
commerce for medical or recreational purposes than ever before, and the
therapy and product options for patients and consumers in legal
jurisdictions are abundant.

Adding to the excitement of the medical and adult-use sectors is the
personal cannabis freedoms that are being afforded to people in many
regions of the world. Legal home cultivation and private use are becoming
more common in many countries. Furthermore, technology is being harnessed
in ways never seen before, particularly technology focused on consumption
and cultivation.
From Prohibition to International Collaboration

For many years, cannabis activity was completely prohibited across the
globe. Then, slowly but surely, policies began to modernize. Political
stigma is subsiding at a growing rate, and that, in turn, is yielding more
collaboration between national and regional governments. Every continent is
now witnessing some level of medical cannabis imports and exports. The
industry has truly gone international.

Learning and networking are more important than ever in the emerging
industry and all of the subsectors and facets that go into it. Activists,
entrepreneurs, investors, industry service providers, regulators, and
lawmakers all need to come together to keep driving the momentum forward
and ensure that all of the important sub-cannabis communities are
represented at the metaphorical international cannabis table.
Why ICBC Berlin Matters Now

The current climate for global cannabis is why the upcoming International
Cannabis Business Conference in Berlin is so important and timely. The
conference serves as the most diversely representative cannabis industry
gathering, with representatives from over 80 countries and every major
industry sector expected to be in attendance. The international cannabis
industry and community are at a very pivotal juncture in time, and the
International Cannabis Business Conference in Berlin is where global
leaders will share their ideas and experiences to help make sure that the
worldwide cannabis revolution hits warp speed.
Europe’s Legalization Momentum Accelerates

This year’s International Cannabis Business Conference is the tenth
installment of the Berlin event, and is occurring during a time of historic
cannabis policy change in both Germany and throughout the European
continent. Most of Europe’s countries currently have operating legal
medical cannabis industries, and there are now four countries in Europe
that have adopted national adult-use legalization measures. As of the start
of this year, adults in Czechia can cultivate and possess personal amounts
of cannabis, placing the Czech Republic alongside Malta, Luxembourg, and
Germany on the list of legalized European nations.

Beyond Europe, many other markets are expanding their already existing
legal industries, and other countries, particularly in Africa, are working
to launch their domestic industries. The United States has historically
stayed on the international cannabis industry sidelines, but with federal
rescheduling on the way, that is likely to change soon.
Where Global Cannabis Leaders Connect

The international cannabis industry and policy landscape is evolving fast.
It is paramount for people wanting to gain a meaningful footprint in the
global market to learn the latest and most important information and to
network with leaders from around the world. There is no better place to do
exactly that than in Berlin on April 13th-15th, 2026, at ICBC Berlin. The
event will be held at the iconic Estrel Berlin Hotel, Germany’s largest
convention center.

ICBC Berlin is offering free tickets to the major cannabis industry buyers
who are driving the industry, including German cannabis pharmacy and
cultivation association operators, and to grow shop owners throughout
Europe. The conference will also feature a packed two-day curriculum, a VIP
reception, an exclusive pharmacy meet-up, a grow pavilion, a medical pharma
zone, an outdoor consumption lounge, and a speed networking area, all of
which create unparalleled opportunities for attendees.
A Gathering of Unmatched Scale and Influence

Thousands of international cannabis buyers will be in attendance at ICBC
Berlin this year. In addition to licensed cannabis buyers, 90% of the
world’s largest licensed producers (LPs) and nearly all European and
international wholesalers and distributors will be present. The legal
international cannabis industry has never witnessed a gathering of this
magnitude and caliber. Ticket prices go up on March 18th at midnight. Register
now and secure your spot before the event sells out.
