For the second consecutive year, the International Cannabis Business Conference and Spannabis are joining forces to bring you Spain\u2019s largest B2B cannabis event.<\/p>\n
Hosted in Barcelona\u2019s Auditori de Cornell\u00e0 on March 12, the super-conference features a schedule packed with true cannabis experts discussing the latest developments and innovations from the global cannabis industry.<\/p>\n
Speakers at this year\u2019s\u00a0ICBC Barcelona<\/a>\u00a0event include Dana Rohrabacher, former congressman and cannabis reform hero; Jamie Pearson, CEO of Bhang; DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill and recently appointed Chief Brand Strategy Officer at Bhang; Miguel Vila G\u00f3mez, former Spain congressman and cannabis regulation activist and Andrew DeAngelo, co-founder and GM of Harborside. Ngaio Bealum will be presiding over the conference as the master of ceremonies.<\/p>\n Regarded as one of the premier B2B cannabis networking events for entrepreneurs and investors alike, ICBC is the place to learn about the emerging cannabis industry and make impactful and lasting connections with other professionals looking to break into Europe\u2019s burgeoning cannabis market.<\/p>\n Owner and CEO of\u00a0Spannabis, Carlos Palomino<\/a>, believes that the partnership between Spannabis and ICBC \u201cseemed like a natural progression\u201d and a way for the two events to provide attendees with a wider range of opportunities and experiences.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are one of the most important fairs in the world and the most important in Europe and the ICBC is the B2B conference par excellence,\u201d said Palomino.<\/p>\n He believes cannabis conferences like Spannabis and ICBC are important to help normalize cannabis in Spain and undo the damage caused by prohibition.<\/p>\n \u201cMuch damage has been done with prohibitionist policies, and there are still a good number of citizens who know nothing about the utilities of cannabis, both from the medicinal and recreational perspective and from the industrial side of this wonderful plant,\u201d said Palomino. \u201cThe conferences of Spannabis are oriented in that sense. With regard to the ICBC, it is a business-centric conference, and it is crucial that the Spanish population, and also the European population in general, be aware of the international market that is still being created.\u201d<\/p>\n Palomino was inspired to create Spannabis by other cannabis fairs that were being held in Germany and Holland. Since the first Spannabis was held in 2002 at the Palau Sant Jordi, Palomino believes the cannabis scene in Spain has \u201cprofessionalized,\u201d with new ancillary companies emerging in the process.<\/p>\n \u201cAlthough self-cultivation has been the center of the industry for many years, today, medical cannabis, hemp or all kinds of tools for cultivation and extraction are very present.\u201d<\/p>\n While he predicts that most of Europe will pass some sort of regulation, be it medical or recreational over the next five years, Spain\u2019s cannabis future is not so clear. \u201cWe are a very conservative country, so it remains to be seen what will happen here.\u201d<\/p>\n His favorite memory of last year\u2019s collaboration between Spannabis and ICBC? \u201cWithout a doubt, the great influx of public, along with the intervention of\u00a0Damian Marley<\/a>\u00a0will go down in history.\u201d<\/p>\n This year, Palomino\u2019s goal is for the combined efforts of Spannabis and ICBC to deliver greater political and social impact from last year and \u201cto contribute our grain of sand to carry out regulation in Spain.\u201d<\/p>\n The International Cannabis Business Conference in Barcelona will be held on March 12 at the Auditori de Cornell\u00e0 with an after-party at the iconic Arts Hotel (Ritz-Carlton). The after-party will feature DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill and other musical acts.<\/p>\n Make sure you\u2019re at Spain\u2019s largest B2B cannabis event,\u00a0ICBC Barcelona<\/a>.<\/p>\n TELL US<\/strong>, have you been to any international cannabis conferences?<\/p>\n The post ICBC & Spannabis Unite Again As Spain\u2019s Largest Cannabis Conference<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
