BERLIN, JUNE 2024 — This past weekend from June 14 to 16, the German capital became the epicenter of weed news and cannabis culture with the celebration of the cannabis fair “Mary Jane” at the Berlin Exhibition Center. The event, which since 2016 has established itself as the most important hemp fair in Germany and the leader in Europe, attracted nearly 40,000 visitors over three vibrant days of exhibitions, conferences, and entertainment.
🎯 How was the Mary Jane 2024 fair?
From Friday, June 14 to Sunday, June 16, the fair offered an impressive variety of 400 exhibitors and 35 speakers who transformed the space into a vibrant cannabis festival, where industry pioneers and consumers gathered to share knowledge and celebrate advancements in the sector. The turnout was such that, at certain times over the weekend, the organization had to suspend ticket sales at the box office to manage the large crowd.
The fair stood out not only for its size and record attendance but also for the quality and diversity of its panels and discussions. Topics such as the future of industrial hemp in Germany, medicinal cannabis, and hemp construction captured the attention of attendees, with experts like Jürgen Neumeyer, Dirk Heitepriem, and Dr. Knud Gastmeier leading the discussions.
This year’s emphasis was on home cultivation, reflecting the recent legalization of cannabis in Germany on April 1, a change that, according to Nhung Nguyen, co-founder of “Mary Jane”, has significantly boosted the fair’s relevance. More than a third of the exhibition space was dedicated to products for cannabis cultivation and harvesting, including marijuana seeds and live plants, demonstrating the boom and growing interest in this area. Below you can see some of the most well-known brands in the sector present at Mary Jane 2024:
