Growing Relationships is a one-day B2B event that brings together retailers, producers, and ancillary services for networking, brainstorming, discussion, and learning. It’s designed to support business growth by providing an opportunity and space to build connections, share insights, and be part of the community conversations. We aim to deliver our events in the under-served communities, with the goal of opening up accessibility to industry events.

Our Kelowna 2025 event includes our networking activities and roundtable industry discussions. An essential component of Growing Relationships is engaging the community in discussions and brainstorming on current industry issues from diverse perspectives. We capture these insights and provide a summary to relevant regulators, ensuring they hear directly from those who are actively working in the industry.

From September 18 to 20, 2025, the next edition of CB Expo – Cannabis Business Expo and Conference will take place as part of InterTabac in Dortmund. As the central platform for the European cannabis industry, CB Expo brings together leading companies, innovative start-ups and industry experts.

Discover new products, strong brands and innovative services along the entire value chain – from cannabis cultivation to distribution. The trade fair is complemented by high-quality side events for undisturbed networking and the CB Conference, where international speakers discuss current trends, regulatory developments and medical perspectives.

Focus 2025: the legalization of cannabis in Germany and Europe, the use of hemp as a sustainable raw material and the future of cannabis in medicine. The aim is to promote the development of a responsible, sustainable and Europe-wide networked cannabis economy.
