The Icelandic Hemp Association is organizing the Hemp for the Future 2025 conference, a landmark event scheduled to take place at Reykjavík's historic Iðnó venue. This conference is expected to draw over 200 global leaders and experts, focusing on the transformative potential of industrial hemp and medical cannabis in driving sustainable economic growth and addressing environmental challenges.
Keynote speaker Jamie Pearson, Founder of the New Holland Group, will headline the event, which will delve into critical areas such as industrial hemp, medical cannabis, and the nuances of legalization and policy. Through a series of panels and workshops, the conference aims to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration among stakeholders in these burgeoning sectors.
Þórunn Jónsdóttir, the Conference Coordinator for the Icelandic Hemp Association, highlights the event's overarching goal to not only advance industry knowledge but also to contribute to ecosystem regeneration and community empowerment for a healthier future. Adding to the conference's appeal are pre-conference workshops like 'Cannabis Queens' and a 'Farmers’ Workshop', designed to shed light on the significant roles women play in the cannabis industry and to impart practical cultivation skills, respectively.
