The International Conference of the European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA) will be held from June 12-13, 2018 in Cologne, Germany.
Around 350 participants from 40 countries are expected to participate in the event that will discuss the latest developments from all areas of the hemp industry – from seeds to the end product. Around 20 exhibitors will present their latest technologies and products in the event.
A major highlight of the conference will be an innovation award for the Hemp Product of the Year, presented for the first time ever. This award will honor three products – each from the areas of food, cosmetics and biocomposites. Participants will select the winners per category based on a short introduction of the products. The award winners will then be announced during the dinner ceremony.
The event will be organised by the German nova-Institut in close cooperation with the European Industrial Hemp Association. The day before the conference, EIHA will host expert workshops for members, meet representatives from Canada, USA and China.
