Press Release 28-08-03

8. Internationale CannaBusinessÒ 2003

 

 

In only two weeks, the 8th International CannaBusinessÒ 2003 from 12-14 September in the Europahalle Castrop-Rauxel opens its doors! About 130 exhibitors from 16 nations will again present both proven and completely new products to visitors and trade visitors from more than 30 nations, making for an extraordinary international panache.

 

The opening press conference takes place on Friday, September 12th at 1:00 p.m. in the beer garden of the Europahalle. We would like to heartily invite you to this occasion!

 

Unbroken dynamics: This year`s CannaBusinessÒ promises to become a true innovation offensive. The high percentage of about one third of new exhibitors guarantees for a large number of fair novelties and product innovations (e.g. world premiere of the first hemp bioplastic cd project).  Accordingly, the innovation contest (info site: http://www.cannabusiness.info/inno03_e.html), introduced last year with great success and much media response,  will take place again, same as the traditional product award. You can expect the market place CannaBusinessÒ  to become even more interesting and worthwhile for visitors and media representatives this year!

 

For the first time, there will be two separate issues of the CannaBusinessÒ Magazine in German and English available for free at the fair. From next year on, we will distribute a spring and a fair issue of the magazine.

 

Friday and Saturday, the fair will be reserved for trade visitors only, Sunday will be open to the public, what incited many people to extensive shopping tours. Also in this year, our exhibitors will for sure offer some good bargains.

 

There is a lot of entertainment going on in the beer garden and the Europahalle. Our varied supporting programme features, amongst others, a hemp fashion show, body painting, glass blowing, vaporizer workshop, walking acts as well as many live music and dancing acts. Watch out for the presentation of the film ”hashish” (A-Atlas Filmproduktion / GER) which will also be shown in the cinema ”die Kurbel” in Castrop Rauxel on all fair days. And much more entertaining stuff…

 

Our new well-reputated gastronomy partner Stolzenhoff guarantees fresh delicious foods at affordable prices in the beer garden. Here you can also find further attractive exhibition stands.
