The Cannabis Expo gets ready to light up Sandton

Cannabis entrepreneurs and enthusiasts are flying high now that The Cannabis Expo, Africa’s largest cannabis event, is returning to the Sandton Convention Centre with its biggest expo yet.

The Cannabis Expo is the perfect mix of cannabis business and lifestyle,” said expo director Silas Howarth.

“With multiple spaces to explore, including the cannabis food market, the expo hall, the cannabis music festival as well as the convention stage and serious networking spaces and opportunities, The Cannabis Expo is where the cannabis world comes to conduct serious business in Africa, and where cannabis enthusiasts come to have a great time,” Mr Howarth said.

With over 150 exhibitor stands, representing organisations from across the cannabis industry, visitors and delegates at The Cannabis Expo access an entire world of cannabis-related products, services and information.

The expo features the convention stage, where global cannabis experts, industry leaders and government representatives take part in moderated panel discussions around all aspects of cannabis business, health, regulation and opportunities. With dedicated networking and meeting rooms and a dealmakers’ lounge, delegates meet and network with the exhibitors, convention speakers as well as cannabis business entrepreneurs, investors and experts.

“Sandton Convention Centre is about to once again become the African meeting point for the global cannabis industry,” Mr Howarth said. “From a business and regulatory perspective, if you’re in the local cannabis industry, or looking to do cannabis business in Africa, you need to be at The Cannabis Expo.”

While cannabis is big business, there is also a whole lot of fun to be had at The Cannabis Expo. The Cannabis Food Market runs over the three days, with a wide range of cannabisinfused foods and drinks on offer.

Also accessed by all expo visitors is The Freedom Festival, the ultimate music event for cannabis enthusiasts, providing a vibrant outdoor festival environment, including a festival stage hosting popular bands, artists and DJs throughout the event.

The Cannabis Expo takes place from 18-20 November 2022, 10am-9pm, at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.
