Thank you BCN Cannabis Week 2025!
That’s a Wrap! Lumino concludes yet another successful & memorable week in Barcelona!
From March 12-16, the Lumino team hit the ground running in Barcelona, making the most of an action-packed week at some of the industry’s biggest events. We connected, networked, and celebrated at CDays, ICBC (International Cannabis Business Conference), and the final-ever Spannabis in Barcelona—plus a lineup of unforgettable afterparties.
This year, we showed up stronger than ever. Alongside our seasoned leaders—Tom Gray (CEO), Nikita Cretu (COO), and AJ Mishra (Recruitment Director)—we had Eric Spelten (Recruitment Consultant) scouting top talent and, for the first time, our newest team member, Roberto Perez (Marketing Lead), capturing all the highlights with some next-level content.
Barcelona Cannabis Week 2025 was one for the books, and we’re already counting down to the next one!
Watch the recap
Below is our highlight reel of BCN Cannabis Week 2025:
CDays & ICBC Barcelona
Touching down in vibrant Barcelona on Wednesday, March 12, our team hit the ground running, making our way straight to CDays. Though we missed the morning sessions, we turned the afternoon into a golden opportunity, diving into a whirlwind of networking that sparked exciting conversations and strengthened industry bonds.
The following day, we deployed a strategic split: AJ and Eric immersed themselves in a groundbreaking women-led industry summit, while Tom, Nikita, and Roberto navigated the bustling corridors of ICBC. The day brought extraordinary encounters with cannabis industry titans – from sharing insights with Josh Kesselman, the visionary behind RAW Papers, to engaging discussions with Jürgen Bickel, the pioneering co-founder of Storz & Bickel.
As dusk settled over Barcelona, we reconvened for an intimate soirée masterfully orchestrated by PIPP Horticulture’s International Sales Manager, Farida Hussein. In a charming venue tucked away from the city’s bustle, we savored fine drinks and gourmet canapés while deepening connections in an atmosphere that perfectly balanced professionalism with Mediterranean warmth.
Spannabis 2025
Friday, March 14, marked the start of one of the cannabis industry’s most anticipated events of the year—Spannabis. Not even the relentless rain could dampen the excitement, as hundreds of eager attendees braved the mud-soaked queues to get through the doors of Fira de Cornellà.
This year’s edition wasn’t just the busiest since its launch in 2002—it was also historic. With Spannabis set to move to Bilbao in 2026, the Barcelona crowd made sure to give it a proper sendoff, packing the venue with an energy that was impossible to ignore.
For our team, it was full speed ahead. We navigated from booth to booth, sparking conversations with some of the biggest names in the industry, reconnecting with professionals we’ve helped place in top roles, and seizing every networking opportunity that came our way. By the end of the day, our pockets were overflowing with business cards—and, of course, a few well-earned goodies.
