The largest cannabis fair in Europe debuted in Bilbao this year, bringing an intimate but thriving community atmosphere.
Spannabis Bilbao 2024: A Smaller but Thriving Edition
In September 2024, Spannabis, Europe’s largest cannabis fair, made its debut in Bilbao, offering a refreshing change from its well-known Barcelona counterpart. The Spannabis Bilbao 2024 cannabis fair was smaller but carried an extraordinary vibe—more personal, less crowded, and filled with passionate cannabis enthusiasts. It was an opportunity to meet new brands and connect in a more relaxed setting, which felt very different from the busy nature of Barcelona.
For those used to the overwhelming crowds and long lines at Spannabis Barcelona, Bilbao was a welcome surprise. The smaller scale allowed time and space to engage with vendors, learn about the products, and participate in valuable conversations without the rush.
Highlights of Spannabis Bilbao 2024
CBD & Hemp Zone: A Growing Wellness Sector
A key feature of this year’s Spannabis Bilbao 2024 cannabis fair was the CBD & Hemp Zone, which showcased a variety of products, from CBD oils to hemp-based cosmetics and even food products. This area emphasized CBD’s medicinal properties, creating an engaging space for both medical professionals and users interested in learning more about wellness products. Vendors offered insights into the benefits of CBD, how it’s being used, and its growing popularity as an alternative therapy(Alchimia Web).
World Cannabis Conference: A Hub for Knowledge
Running alongside the fair was the World Cannabis Conference, the 11th edition of this acclaimed event. The conference brought together experts from medical, scientific, and political fields to discuss the latest research and trends in cannabis.
Attendees gained insights into cultivation techniques, legal changes, and medical advances that are pushing the boundaries of the cannabis industry. This forum-like atmosphere made it possible for anyone—novice or expert—to engage with the complex world of cannabis(Alchimia Web).
Spannabis Champions Cup: Celebrating Excellence in Cannabis
One of the most anticipated parts of the Spannabis Bilbao 2024 cannabis fair was the Spannabis Champions Cup, held at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre. It celebrated the top products in various categories such as THC content, CBD, and hash. Winning products like Mac 1 from Cannacultura and Ferrari OG by Gemelli Forte represented the best in the industry, highlighting the dedication of cultivators in bringing high-quality products to market(Cannabis Cup Winners).
Personal Impressions of Spannabis Bilbao 2024
Personally, I found the smaller, more intimate nature of Spannabis Bilbao 2024 to be a wonderful experience. Unlike Barcelona, where the crowds can be overwhelming, Bilbao’s first edition was friendly and welcoming. I had the opportunity to meet new faces, connect with emerging brands, and explore products in a much more relaxed setting. For me, it felt like a new side of Spannabis—a side I hadn’t seen before.
This new edition allowed me to discover not only different cannabis products but also the passionate people behind the innovations. It was refreshing to see how diverse and creative the cannabis community can be, with a variety of new offerings that went beyond the traditional use of cannabis.
Looking Forward to Spannabis Bilbao 2025
The first edition of Spannabis Bilbao brought together enthusiasts and industry professionals in a unique and welcoming environment. The friendly, community-driven atmosphere made it an event to remember, and I’m already looking forward to next year. If this year’s fair is anything to go by, 2025 will be even better—more brands, more knowledge, and more of the engaging vibe that made this event so special.
