The NCIA Cannabis Industry Lobby Days & National Stakeholder Summit is a must-attend event for stakeholders in the U.S. cannabis industry. This annual event, now in its 14th year in 2026, brings together key decision-makers and industry professionals in Washington, D.C., to directly influence U.S. federal policy.
The main benefit lies in direct access to members of Congress and their staff. Over the course of three days, participants negotiate scheduled meetings on Capitol Hill to advocate for the interests of the legal cannabis industry. Beyond mere lobbying, the national summit features panels and in-depth discussions on current political issues shaping the sector’s regulation.
For French entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals interested in developments in the North American market, this event offers a unique insight into future legislative trends. The networks established with regulators, elected officials, and industry leaders prove invaluable for anticipating changes in the global cannabis and CBD market.
The summit also attracts policymakers and regulators involved in overhauling legal frameworks, making this annual gathering a reliable barometer of the future direction of U.S. cannabis policy.
