Cannabis Trades Association Pre-Holiday Season Networking Event
Mid-month on the 12th of November, The Cannabis Trades Association (CTA) will be hosting their Pre-Holiday Season Networking Event, enabling companies across the compliance, cultivation and wellness pathways to strengthen business relationships in the UK cannabis landscape. The event also aims to create a space for industry friends to connect ahead of the holiday season.
The CTA’s networking event will take place at The Lucky Pig Cocktail Bar in London from 17:30 – 21:00. Register for your free ticket for the CTA Pre-Holiday Season Networking Event here.
Cannabis Health Symposium
Finally, the Cannabis Health Symposium presented by Cannabis Health in partnership with the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society (MCCS), will host a major moment for healthcare education and legitimacy in the UK’s medical cannabis industry on the 25th of November in London.
The symposium will bring together clinicians, medical researchers, pharmacists and policymakers for a full day of expert-led sessions. Attendance is free for healthcare providers (limited number available), whilst industry professionals may join with a paid ticket. This inclusive model reflects the growing importance of bridging scientific inquiry with commercial realties, all while prioritizing patient outcomes.
Prof Mike Barnes, Chair of the MCCS said, “I am looking forward to this conference which has been badly needed for some time. Clinicians need to meet face-to-face to learn from each other, listen to experts and gain confidence in their practice. Clinician education is vital in this sector where there is so much to learn and frankly so many prejudices to overcome. I know this will be a significant step forward for clinicians and thus eventually benefit many thousands of people with long term disabling conditions.”
The Cannabis Health Symposium will take place on the 25th of November from 9:00-17:00 at Conway Hall in London. For more information on the symposium including agenda and ticket information, click here.
This Medical Cannabis Week in November stands as a reminder that the UK’s momentum in the cannabis industry is accelerating and shows absolutely zero signs of slowing down. The energy doesn’t stop on the 25th as more industry gatherings, patient-focused events and policy shaping moments will continue popping up throughout the year.
