With dedicated networking and meeting rooms and a dealmakers’ lounge, delegates meet and network with the exhibitors, convention speakers as well as cannabis business entrepreneurs, investors and experts.

“Sandton Convention Centre is about to once again become the African meeting point for the global cannabis industry,” says Howarth. “From a business and regulatory perspective, if you’re in the local cannabis industry, or looking to do cannabis business in Africa, you need to be at The Expo.”
