17^th EIHA Hemp Conference

The EIHA Hemp Conference is the biggest event on industrial hemp worldwide. A new all-time record was set in 2019 with 415 participants from 49 countries.

Save the date: 15 -16 June 2021

Three winners have been elected!

The conference is the largest business meeting for all sectors of the hemp and cannabis industry, bringing together professionals from around the world to discuss the latest developments in hemp applications for fibres, shives, seeds and oil and cannabinoids. Applications include automotive and construction, biocomposites, textiles, feed & food, food supplements and pharmaceuticals. Please find the final programme at http://eiha-conference.org/programme

17^th EIHA Hemp Conference will take place as interactive online webcast.

Participants who booked earlier in the year will be refunded the difference to the online rate. Exhibitors will of course also get their stand fees back.

We have just had very good experiences with the online version of our “Conference on Carbon Dioxide as Feedstock for Fuels, Chemistry and Polymers”: On three days 50 speakers gave their presentations online and the participants asked almost 200 questions, of which all could be discussed. The reactions of the participants and speakers were extremely positive and everyone was delighted that we offered this form of exchange.
This experience encourages us to make “17^th EIHA Hemp Conference” an equally successful online event, if we can't host the conference in Cologne.

Be there and don't miss this unique and high-profile exchange in June!
