The Medicinal Cannabis Authority (MCA) has officially unveiled the Cannabiz SVG Festival 2026, a rebranded evolution of its inaugural event designed to strengthen the nation’s position in the global medicinal cannabis market.
Scheduled to take place from October 29–31, 2026, the festival will run under the theme “Cultivating Strategic Partnerships for Cooperation and Trade”. The shift from the previous name, “Cannabliss,” to “Cannabiz” signifies a strategic pivot toward business, investment, innovation, and international collaboration.
Building on the success of the first festival—which drew participants from the Caribbean, North America, Latin America, and Europe—the 2026 event aims to be a primary platform for industry advancement. The MCA intends to bring together a wide array of stakeholders, including:
- Policymakers and Regulators to discuss industry standards.
- Investors and Entrepreneurs seeking new commercial opportunities.
- Researchers and Healthcare Professionals exploring medicinal advancements.
- Cultivators and Manufacturers looking to expand trade networks.
As Saint Vincent and the Grenadines continues to position itself as a regional leader, the Cannabiz SVG Festival 2026 will focus on knowledge exchange and business networking. Attendees can expect high-level investment discussions and the development of new strategic partnerships aimed at advancing the medicinal cannabis sector.
The MCA has indicated that further details regarding the festival venue, full program of activities, and registration will be released in the coming weeks.
Industry professionals and the general public are encouraged to “save the date” and stay informed through the MCA’s official channels and by following @cannabizsvg on social media for real-time updates.
