About the Cannabis Science Conference
The Cannabis Science Conference was historically the leading science and research conference dedicated to advancing cannabis knowledge. The brand traditionally hosted both East Coast and West Coast events annually, providing rigorous scientific forums for researchers, laboratory professionals, and clinicians.
Historical Format
Past Cannabis Science Conferences featured tracks across multiple scientific disciplines:
- Analytical Science: Testing methods, laboratory accreditation, and quality standards
- Medical & Clinical: Patient outcomes, dosing research, and clinical trials
- Cultivation Science: Genomics, agronomy, pest management, and environmental controls
- Extraction & Processing: Methods, equipment, safety, and product development
- Regulatory Science: Testing requirements, compliance, and standards development
What's Happening?
The cannabis events landscape has experienced significant turbulence and consolidation in 2025–2026. Several previously prominent events have been discontinued, rebranded, or placed on hiatus. The Cannabis Science Conference's silence on 2026 dates fits this broader pattern, though there's no formal announcement of discontinuation.
