CannMed 26

About CannMed 26

CannMed 26 is the premier cannabis science and medical event, returning to the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort in Nevada for its 2026 edition. Unlike larger trade shows or business conferences, CannMed is structured as a boutique, immersive summit — emphasizing depth over scale.

The conference brings together researchers, clinicians, cultivators, and laboratory professionals for four days of intensive programming on the science behind cannabis. With CannMed serving as one of the most reliably scientific cannabis conferences in the country, it has become essential for those working at the intersection of cannabis and evidence-based medicine.

Programming Focus

• Clinical data: Patient outcomes, dosing research, and therapeutic applications
• Cultivation science: Plant biology, genetics, and growing practices that affect chemistry
• Safety testing: Contaminant detection, methodology, and regulatory standards
• Pharmacology: Cannabinoid mechanisms, drug interactions, and emerging compounds
• Industry science: Bridging research with practical applications in product development

The Lake Tahoe Setting

CannMed's Lake Tahoe location is part of its identity. The resort setting encourages attendees to spend the full four days engaged with the program rather than splitting attention between sessions and a sprawling expo floor. The smaller scale means more direct access to speakers and presenters than at major business conferences.

Who Should Attend

• Researchers presenting or learning about cannabis science
• Clinicians seeking continuing education on medical cannabis
• Laboratory professionals working in cannabis testing
• Cultivators interested in the science behind their craft
• Product developers using research-driven approaches
