With just a little more than three months to the World Class Cannabis Business Europe 2026 – slated to be held this coming May at the Leonardo Hotel Frankfurt City in Germany – organizer World Class Business Leaders Institute recently announced that this year’s event will be expanded from its originally-planned single-track event to a two-track event, promising a bigger focus on the German market while at the same time shedding light on the latest industry developments in other key European cannabis markets.
With the exception of keynote addresses which are presented to the entire conference audience, event attendees who are interested in expanding their companies’ footprints solely in the German market can now have a more targeted networking focus at the event, said a spokesperson for the event. The 2- day B2B event catered to C-suite senior level executives (CEOs, COOs and above) will now see portions of the event solely dedicated to presentations and discussion roundtables by German industry leaders, while other portions of the event will similarly be dedicated to presentations and discussion roundtables hosted by speakers coming in from other key European cannabis markets, such as United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and The Netherlands.

“Despite the proliferation of cannabis sales all across Europe over the past few years, Germany still remains as the biggest cannabis market in the region,” said Darius Zheng, Cannabis Events Lead (North America & Europe) at the World Class Business Leaders Institute.
“It is imperative that we as organizers are able to provide a focus for event attendees who are looking at entering the German market or looking to expand their current footprint in the market.”
Last but not least, Zheng also added: “For participating attendees who are interested in looking at doing business in other parts of Europe, they will be happy to know that the event’s second track will feature industry leaders from other key non-German markets.”
The World Class Cannabis Business Europe 2026 – the 10th edition this year – will discuss a wide range of topics ranging from best practices in manufacturing and cultivation to legalization processes as well as exploring regional and international trade and import/export opportunities.
