1st-3rd June 2018

We have the pleasure to invite you to the first Cannabis Expo to be realized in Athens Greece right next to the sacred rock of Acropolis, after 80 long years of prohibition. Cannabis is a crop with 3000 years of history in the Greek soil and the time has come for its rebirth in the cradle of western civilization.
Cannabis is the Future! Greece has a new law on Hemp cultivation since 2016, Cannabis was declassified for medicinal purposes in July 2017 and a drug law reform permitting, under license, the production and processing for medicinal purposes is due by the end of December 2017. The business and investment prospects are phenomenal.
As such, the forerunners for the last 15 years of the hemp/cannabis legalization movement and the cannabis business sector in Greece, along with some of the most active cannabis initiatives, patient groups and international networks, have decided to pave the way for an effective cannabis regulation and for the sustainable development of the Greek Cannabis Industry. An exhibition linking business and science is born.

BALKANNABIS EXPO aims to become a networking focal point for Cannabis Connoisseurs and Businesses in S.E. Europe by providing a regular meeting place for the exchange of quality trades and state-of-the-art technologies, expertise and open knowledge regarding hemp and medical cannabis applications.
BALKANNABIS EXPO will host top cannabis traders, innovators, experts, industry professionals, policy-makers, activists and scientists from all over the world in a rich and diverse 3 day programme (1-3 June 2018) that will include two international conferences (MedCannabis Science & Athens Hemp Summit) with keynote speakers; cannabis culture workshops; a large exhibition area and international trade show; networking spaces; masterclasses; market area; music and other artistic performances.
Due to its direct links with the international Cannabis legalization movement and the cannabis business sector, BALKANNABIS EXPO organizers expect to host more than 100 exhibitors representing the state-of-the-art of the global cannabis industry and more than 24 experts, professionals and scientists that will contribute to the two international conferences, workshops and masterclasses. A targeted and wide-spread advertising campaign (nationally and internationally- EU, Balkans, Turkey) aims to attract more than 10.000 visitors during the 3 days of the Expo.
