The Cannabis Expo returns to Cape Town after 2-year hiatus
The Cannabis Expo returns to Cape Town after a two-year pandemic break. This time, the event is hosted on the back of President Ramaphosa's recent SONA address, in which he announced government's renewed focus on this flourishing industry and plans to review current frameworks and polices to help the cannabis sector grow.

Hosted at GrandWest from 24 to 27 March, The Cannabis Expo Cape Town is the largest cannabis-focused trade and consumer expo on the African continent and includes over 150 exhibitors, networking and entertainment spaces, The Cannabis Food Market where visitors can buy foods, drinks and treats with a cannabis buzz, as well as The Cannabis Convention that hosts moderated panel discussions and presentations from global industry leaders.
With a huge selection of cannabis-related products and services already legally on the market, The Cannabis Expo hosts businesses and professionals from all sectors of the industry: agriculture, healthcare, medicine, technology, product retailers and innovators, legislation groups and government departments.

Throughout the event, visitors are able to participate in talks, presentations and panel discussions with cannabis industry leaders, experts, activists and government representatives on a variety of cannabis-related topics. Attendees can get clued up about the laws around cannabis, how to get a grower's permit, what tools, lights and fertilisers are needed to grow the best crops, the wide range of health benefits of cannabis, the vast business opportunities the cannabis industry has to offer, and so much more.
“It’s great to be back in Cape Town, and after the recent government moves to further open up the cannabis industry we have seen a huge increase in exhibitors with new cannabis opportunities on offer,” says expo director Silas Howarth. “Whether you’re interested in cannabis and finding out about the latest cannabis products, or just want to have a good time with cannabis vibes, or if you’re serious about getting into the cannabis industry, you need to be at The Cannabis Expo.”
