Cannabis Industry Awards 2025
September 3, 2025 | IN EVENTS | BY Kate Thorpe
The Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society is proud to co-host the Cannabis Industry Awards 2025, alongside the Cannabis Industry Council and Drug Science.
Presented by headline sponsors Curaleaf Laboratories and EastCann, the awards celebrate the individuals driving progress in the UK’s cannabis sector.
The awards dinner takes place on Thursday 6 November 2025 at the Honourable Artillery Company, London. Guests will enjoy a three-course dinner, entertainment, the awards ceremony, and an after-party – bringing together 150 leaders from across the medical cannabis community.
Recognising Individual Achievements
The Cannabis Industry Awards are unique in focusing entirely on the individuals whose work has helped move the UK cannabis sector forward. Rather than spotlighting companies, these awards celebrate the people whose skill, leadership, and commitment have made a measurable difference to patients, peers, and the wider industry.
Each of the six award categories reflects the diverse ways people contribute to progress. From those working tirelessly behind the scenes to clinicians delivering exceptional patient care, advocates raising awareness, and researchers building the evidence base – the awards shine a light on all areas of achievement.
