Discontinued or Dormant International Events
Several previously prominent international cannabis events have gone dormant or defunct:

| CannExpo Toronto | Canada | Defunct — organizers filed for bankruptcy protection in 2025. |
| O'Cannabiz Toronto | Canada | Uncertain — aggregator listings exist but official website is outdated. |
| Expogrow | Spain | On hiatus since 2023. Spannabis's relocation to nearby Bilbao makes a comeback uncertain. |
| CannaTech Tel Aviv | Israel | Likely discontinued. Official website uses past tense; parent organization iCAN's domain shows blank server page. |
| CannaMexico World Summit | Mexico | Likely defunct. Domain is for sale. |
| ExpoWeed Mexico | Mexico | Dormant since approximately 2019. |
Three Structural Shifts in 2026
The 2026 international cannabis calendar reveals three major structural shifts that US professionals should note:
- Germany has overtaken the Netherlands and Spain as Europe's cannabis event capital. Berlin alone hosts two of the continent's top five events (ICBC and Mary Jane Berlin), and four of the top fifteen confirmed European events are in Germany.
- Canada's trade show ecosystem has bifurcated. The era of mega-expos is over. What remains is a mix of intimate regional networking events and one premium international conference (World Cannabis Congress).
- The November calendar is dangerously crowded in Latin America. ExpoCannabis Brasil and ExpoCannaBiz Colombia are scheduled on identical dates (November 20–22). One event may shift, or the audience will split.
