About ICBC Berlin 2026
ICBC Berlin is Europe's premier B2B cannabis conference. The 10th Berlin edition runs April 13–15, 2026 at the Estrel Berlin Hotel, expecting 5,000+ attendees from 80+ countries and 400+ exhibitors across 15,000 square meters.
Originally founded as a US conference series, ICBC retained strong transatlantic roots even as it consolidated around Berlin. The event maintains significant US speaker and attendee presence, making it the most accessible major European cannabis event for American professionals.

Why It Matters for US Professionals
Germany's adult-use cannabis legalization (April 2024) created Europe's largest legal cannabis market overnight. For US-based companies considering international expansion, ICBC Berlin is the single most efficient venue for understanding the European opportunity, meeting potential partners, and navigating regulatory complexity across multiple EU markets.
Pair with Spannabis Bilbao
ICBC Berlin is deliberately scheduled to dovetail with Spannabis (April 17–19) in Bilbao, Spain. The two events together create a seven-day European cannabis circuit that allows transatlantic visitors to make their travel investment count for two major events.
The Pivot from USA Editions
For most of its history, ICBC operated as a multi-city, globally-focused conference series with editions in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The decision to consolidate around Berlin reflects the strategic reality that Germany has become the most important emerging cannabis market in the world. For US-focused operators, the U.S. cannabis events landscape now centers on MJBizCon, Cannabis Means Business, and NCIA Lobby Days.
