Cannabis Industry Awards Announced
August 30, 2024 | IN EVENTS | BY Kate Thorpe
Together with the Cannabis Industry Council and Drug Science, the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society is pleased to announce the first-ever Cannabis Industry Awards.
- 📅 Thursday, 7 November
- 🏛️ HAC, Armoury House, City Road, London
The event is being held during Medical Cannabis Awareness Week, making it a fitting occasion to celebrate excellence in the UK cannabis sector.
The Cannabis Industry Awards is set to be a key event for the UK cannabis community. It will bring together professionals from across the industry, including CEOs, founders, doctors, scientists, and other leading figures. Guests will enjoy a three-course meal, with entertainment provided by a comedian and table magicians. Following the dinner, there will be an after-party at a nearby venue, offering further opportunities to connect and celebrate.
About the Awards
The evening will feature two awards: the Social Impact Award and the Contribution to Science Award. These awards are designed to recognise individuals who have made notable contributions to the cannabis industry.
Nominations are open from 2 September to 1 October, with a public vote from 4 to 25 October to decide the winners, reflecting the views and values of both industry insiders and the wider community.
Dr Leon Barron, Chair of the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society, said:
“The Cannabis Industry Awards Dinner is a chance for us to come together and celebrate the progress we’ve made in the UK cannabis sector, particularly in improving access for patients and supporting clinicians in prescribing since 2018. These awards recognise the hard work and dedication of individuals who are helping to shape the future of the industry in two key areas. I’m looking forward to what will undoubtedly be a memorable evening.”
