Concept

One expo, three worlds, one shared ambition.

Cannanova is an international cannabis expo and community platform that brings together professionals, innovators, researchers, policymakers, entrepreneurs and consumers (18+) from across the globe.

The Concept

Held annually in Rotterdam, Cannanova serves as a meeting place where the latest developments in cannabis cultivation, technology, wellness, healthcare, sustainability, culture and regulation are showcased and discussed.

On 10, 11 and 12 September 2027, Cannanova brings together three worlds in Rotterdam that will shape the future of the cannabis sector: the industry that delivers products, technology and distribution, the science that provides medical evidence, and the policy that creates the framework in which the sector can grow.

For three days, Rotterdam will be dedicated to B2B trade, scientific congresses, policy dialogue and a refined evening programme. No festival vibe, but the professional allure the sector needs right now — organised at the highest European level.
