The Cannabis Expo 2026 Is Almost Here
The Cannabis Expo returns to the Sandton Convention Centre from 29–31 May, and this year looks set to be one of the
biggest yet.
Over the years, the Expo has become a major gathering point for South Africa’s cannabis community; bringing together
growers, brands, entrepreneurs, medical professionals, advocates and everyday enthusiasts all under one roof.
This year, DaggaBay will be attending and covering the event from the ground, and we’re
looking forward to connecting with the people helping shape the future of cannabis in Africa.

What makes The Cannabis Expo stand out is the mix of business, education, culture and community.
Whether you’re passionate about cultivation, wellness, cannabis reform, entrepreneurship or simply learning more about
the plant, the weekend offers a space where people from all corners of the industry can connect.
Visitors can expect:
A huge range of exhibitors

Real Conversations Around Cannabis in South Africa
One of the things we’re most excited about is the lineup of discussions happening throughout the weekend.
Topics include:
- Cannabis reform in South Africa
- Challenges facing cannabis businesses
- Medical cannabis access
- Compliance and licensing
- The future of cannabis in Africa
- Cultivation and export opportunities
These are the kinds of conversations that directly affect growers, consumers, businesses and the wider cannabis
community in South Africa.
The Community Keeps Growing
It’s great seeing how much the local cannabis space has evolved over the last few years.
More people are growing, learning, building businesses, advocating for change and creating communities around
cannabis culture and wellness. Events like this help bring all of that together in one place.
For us, it’s also about the people behind the movement; the stories, the passion and the positive energy that continues
pushing the culture forward.
