ICBC Barcelona 2024: all about the Cannabis Business Conference Europe

As the cannabis world continues to grow and reshape before our eyes, Barcelona is setting the stage for one of the most important European cannabis industry gatherings this year. The International Cannabis Business Conference (ICBC), held in collaboration with Spannabis, Europe’s leading cannabis expo, takes place on March 14, 2024.

Barcelona, with its rich history of cannabis culture, is not just the backdrop for this conference, but also a symbol of the cannabis industry's progress and potential. As Spain stands on the cusp of fundamental regulatory changes to its medical cannabis sector, the ICBC could not be more timely. The Spanish cannabis industry's current valuation of €238.5 million ($257 million), with projections reaching €358.4 million by 2025, underscores the economic vitality and growth potential awaiting its participants.

The list of speakers at ICBC Barcelona includes several iconic figures from the cannabis world, such as DJ Muggs of Cypress HillI, Alejandro Ocampo, member of the Colombian Congress, and many other influential figures. These speakers will talk business and share stories of innovation, struggle, and success that have marked their careers in the cannabis industry.

Alex Rogers, Executive Producer at ICBC, sums up the spirit of the event: «The Spannabis brand is iconic and one of the most recognized names by cannabis enthusiasts worldwide, and we are honored to partner with such an old and important institution.».

ICBC and Spannabis join forces

The Partnership between ICBC and Spannabis is particularly noteworthy. It bridges the gap between user enthusiasm and the B2B approach that is essential for industry growth. «For many years, Spannabis has served as a meeting point for the entire European cannabis scene,» explains Mr. Rogers. «The partnership between ICBC and Spannabis fills this gap and meets a clear need for key players in the cannabis industry to come together, network, progress, and move the industry forward as cannabis laws are liberalized in Spain and across the continent.»
