CannMed started in 2016, when Medicinal Genomics partnered with Dr. Raphael Mechoulam to host the leading researchers and clinicians in cannabinoid medicine at Boston’s Harvard Medical School. Since then, CannMed has transformed into an industry event that attracts the brightest minds in cannabis science, medicine, cultivation, and safety testing.
In 2023, CannMed transformed into an Innovation and Investment Summit held at the J.W. Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort, Marco Island, FL. The new location and the new format included expanded professional development workshops, engaging networking events, interactive panels, and curated oral and poster presentations approved by a world-class advisory board. The event received overwhelming praise from attendees, who valued the networking, prospecting, education, and community.
The CannMed 24 Innovation and Investment Summit will build on last year’s event, and further establish it as the industry’s premiere event. Read more about what makes CannMed unique and why you don’t want to miss it!

Education
Providing world-class cannabis education and highlighting the latest advancements in research has always been the main objective for CannMed. Each of the CannMed presentations is vetted by the CannMed Advisory Board to ensure the information is relevant, novel, clearly communicated, and free from commercial bias. These high standards mean that the research shared at CannMed continues to shape the industry and will ultimately help millions benefit from the plant and its compounds. We share videos of all the CannMed presentations for free in the CannMed Archives because we believe access to quality information should not be limited.
Additionally, the Medical Practicum is an invaluable resource for clinicians who want to understand the therapeutic potential of cannabis medicine. Cannabis patients need knowledgeable clinicians to help guide their treatment, and the CannMed Medical Practicum is one of the few courses available that provides evidence-based information from experienced cannabis clinicians.

Community
The CannMed attendees are a unique community of like-minded individuals from different disciplines whose goal is to advance the cannabis industry and gain knowledge from one another. Whether it is a newly discovered compound, a destructive plant pathogen, a better treatment protocol, or updated testing standards, the cannabis industry is constantly changing. CannMed is where industry leaders come to learn about new opportunities and collaborate to solve emerging challenges.
And so this is the third year that I've participated, and it's been an incredible experience each year.”
