Zagreb, Croatia
Words by Lucy MacKinnon
With a tour series taking place in
Dublin, London and Zagreb, Paul
Raggett, Europe Canna Expo (ECE)
events director tells The CANNAVIST
why events are key to quashing stigma
and negative connotations for cannabis
business.
The aim?
“To provide detailed education to our
attendees, help drive meaningful
conversations forward and remove the
stigma.”
After the success of their fi rst event, the
Europe CBD Expo in London last year,
the team regrouped to make the next
leg of events bigger with an extended
reach.
This started with a name change: The
Europe Canna Expo encompasses all
aspects of medical cannabis, rather
than focusing solely on CBD.
By going global, the ECE will deliver
a detailed educational programme,
industry information and innovations
to its attendees, strengthening bonds
beyond international borders.
March 3 and 4
Dublin, Ireland
The debut Dublin event, and fi rst
European series instalment, will see the
ECE play host to leading international
experts as they present on subjects
ranging from cannabis science and
business, to patient care and access,
96
and cannabis cultivation.
Held at one of Ireland’s most historically
signifi cant venues, Paul hopes The
Shelbourne’s reputation of facilitating
life-changing decisions, such as the
Irish constitution, will also be present at
the event.
“ECE Dublin will bring Irish stakeholders
and the leading international cannabis
industry experts together to discuss
global medical cannabis research and
how it will affect the recent changes in
Irish law.”
June 26 and 27
London, UK
Following in the footsteps of last year’s
debut event, 125 of the world’s leading
brands and service providers will exhibit
at the ExCeL convention center this
June.
Paul says: “ECE London will be Europe’s
largest medical cannabis event in 2020.
As Croatia continues to move towards
an open CBD and medical cannabis
market with large scale research and
cultivation, this event will provide the
tools needed to succeed.
“Working in connection with the
Croatian Chamber of Economy, ECE
Zagreb will look to establish medical
cannabis as a new and vibrant industry,
helping to bring investment and
new opportunities to everyone from
farmers looking into hemp production,
to patients who are looking for more
open access.”
Expecting a global audience made
up of senior representatives from the
industry, clinicians, governments, press
and consumers, the ECE’s 2020 fi nale
will go out in style, forming a cannabis
community of Eurozone leaders.
