On this episode, Tom is having a chat with Lenny Roots, the Founder of (and mastermind behind) HamCan, Hamburg’s first and only cannabis conference and expo. HamCan will have its inaugural edition this summer, and Lennart shares why he decided to create a cannabis event in Hamburg and how he is managing to bring it all together. Lennart also shares how he initially got into event management, which is quite the tale in itself. All we will say is that it involved living in Jamaica and managing some pretty epic Reggae artists.

HamCan takes place on the 9th and 10th of July in Hamburg and will consist of an expo and a conference. The expo part of HamCan will be free for everyone and will have different exhibitors and lots of entertainment. The conference will have many interesting speakers from Germany, Europe and the US who are experts in various sectors of the cannabis industry. If you’re interested in learning more about the German cannabis industry and would like to make some b2b connections, then make sure to check out HamCan’s website to learn more.
