Florida cannabis events, conventions & dates

Florida is the country's largest medical-only cannabis market: vertically integrated Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) licensed by the Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) under the Department of Health. That shape decides what lands on this calendar — MMTC license and rule dates rather than adult-use launch events — and in 2026 it also means hemp: state and federal moves have put hard dates on how intoxicating hemp-derived THC products can be sold, dates that matter to dispensaries and hemp retailers alike.

On the events side, Florida hosts its own circuit — Florida CannFest in Mount Dora (November 7, 2026), UF's Cannabis Clinical Outcomes Research Conference at Lake Nona (November 5–6) and the Florida Medical Cannabis Conference in Orlando (May 21–23, 2027) — and increasingly draws national organizers: CHAMPS' first Florida trade show in Fort Lauderdale (November 17–19, 2026) and IgniteIt's Cannabis Capital Conference in Hollywood (March 24–26, 2027). The Legislature's 2027 regular session runs March 2 to April 30. The Florida feed below carries all of it, plus the nationwide sales days and federal policy dates that apply in the state.
