Want to know the which industry events to attend in Asia Pacific in 2026?
Then you came to the right place!
In this article, we list what we consider the 2026’s Top Cannabis Events in Asia-Pacific you wouldn’t want to miss, whether you sit on the medical, hemp, wellness, or commercial side of the industry.
APAC’s calendar is smaller than Europe’s, but the deals and intelligence are dense: Thailand’s Bangkok hub, Australia’s five flagship medical events (concentrated in a single Melbourne-heavy September), and Japan’s steadily maturing CBD sector make up the bulk of the year. Below, every verified 2026 event grouped by month.
An honest note on coverage: outside Thailand, Australia, and Japan, Asia in 2026 does not yet have a standing cannabis, hemp, or CBD B2B event. Most of the region either prohibits the category outright (UAE, Hong Kong, most of Southeast Asia) or is still in the pre-industry policy-drafting phase (Nepal, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Philippines). That concentration is itself the story for European readers.

• Nutraceutical / Functional Food
10,000+ trade visitors and 200+ exhibitors from 70+ countries. India’s Ayurvedic hemp lane – bhang, hemp-seed food, Cannabis sativa L. as a classical Ayurvedic ingredient – is quietly one of the largest legal cannabinoid raw-material corridors into European nutraceutical supply chains. For a European brand wanting cost-competitive hemp-seed protein, hemp oil, or Ayurvedic-lineage formulations, the exhibitor list is more useful than any B2B directory.

• When: 26-28 February 2026
• 95% B2B – 5% B2C

Coverage spans hemp textiles, foods, beverages, medicinal oils, extraction gear, vapes, building materials, and hydroponics. Consumer-facing at the front, trade-relevant at the back – useful for brands testing ANZ retail and distribution, but off-brief for a purely clinical or commercial B2B trip.

• When: 29-31 May 2026
• 100% B2B

Third annual conference of the Australian and New Zealand College of Cannabinoid Practitioners (ANZCCP). The 2026 theme, “Precision, Compassion, Evolution – The next chapter in Cannabinoid Medicine,” is restricted to AHPRA and NZ-registered doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. A small but highly targeted room of the clinicians actually prescribing in ANZ, useful for European pharma and producer teams tracking how a mature prescriber cohort organises, credentials, and evolves.

JULY 2026 • CANNABIS EVENTS
Pharma Trade Show (cannabis-adjacent)
• Where: QSNCC, Bangkok, Thailand
• When: 8-10 July 2026
• 100% B2B – 0% B2C
• N/A (Pharma; cannabis via supplier crossover)
ASEAN’s largest pharma show, with 400+ exhibitors, 10,000+ visitors from 70+ countries, and 60+ technical sessions on manufacturing, regulation, and market access. Not a cannabis event, but the venue and audience overlap AIHEF and Agential meaningfully. European medical cannabis operators pursuing EU-GMP-to-Asia export routes and Thai contract manufacturing partners will find more of the right conversations here than at a pure cannabis show.

Off-thesis for medical cannabis recruitment, but the correct pick for any operator working the fibre, seed, and food side of the plant.
B2B Expo & Conference

Five conference tracks cover genetics and cultivation, extraction, quality, compliance and market access, plus AI/tech and therapeutics. Backed by the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau. The strongest single event for European commercial teams wanting a concentrated APAC medicinal-cannabis buyer and regulator audience.

Broader and more retail-adjacent than Agential, making it the natural pair-visit for a European operator on a Bangkok sourcing trip.
