The much-anticipated Cannabis Expo 2025, presented by Synergy Wellness, is coming to the Sandton Convention Centre for one weekend only from 30 May to 1 June 2025. This is an opportunity to meet industry experts, shop the best in cannabis products, experience your own high, and learn about the benefits of cannabis. Here’s what you need to know about the expo.
Celebrate the return of edible cannabis at The Cannabis Expo’s Cannabis Food Market
In an exciting turn of events, edible cannabis products are now once again legal in South Africa, following a brief hiatus. This milestone will be at the heart of this year’s Cannabis Expo, with food lovers, industry professionals, and advocates all coming together to celebrate the resurgence of hemp and cannabis in culinary spaces.
The event promises to be a feast for the senses, with a diverse group of chefs and food innovators taking centre stage at the Cannabis Food Market. Expect a mouth-watering selection of cannabis-infused dishes and canna cocktails, from delicious snacks to unforgettable desserts, all crafted by chefs and mixologists who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of edible cannabis.
Dive into developing trends in the Cannabis industry
Beyond the food, The Cannabis Expo 2025 will feature the renowned Cheeba Cannabis & Hemp Summit and introduces the International Cannabis Symposium, both providing a deep dive into the latest legal insights, market trends, and innovative developments in the cannabis industry. Leading experts and industry leaders will share the most relevant topics and explore the evolving landscape in South Africa and globally.
The Cheeba Cannabis & Hemp Summit features masterclasses, panels, keynote talks, workshops and networking sessions. The International Cannabis Symposium will be bringing together global leaders in regulation, commerce and compliance to discuss the latest legal frameworks, international trade opportunities, and industry standards.
With hundreds of products and services on display, the expo promises to be a one-stop destination for anyone interested in the cannabis industry.
A blend of music, culture and cannabis at The Freedom Festival
The Freedom Festival, a highlight of the Expo, is set to return with its signature blend of music, culture, and freedom. The Fest is the ultimate event for cannabis enthusiasts, providing a vibrant outdoor festival environment where visitors, delegates and exhibitors at The Cannabis Expo congregate throughout the three days.
Previously featuring internationally acclaimed DJs, this year’s festival promises an equally stellar line-up.
