In April 2024, Málaga will once again be the venue for valuable information on all the latest topics and trends in the world of next-generation products, offering a host of networking opportunities and a unique entertainment programme as the event focuses especially on the topics of harm reduction and youth protection.

Dortmund, 19 June 2023 – Following the successful début of EVO NXT this year, the date for the second business festival has now been set, with next-generation products (NGPs) set to take centre stage once again at the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Málaga (FYCMA) on 5 and 6 April 2024. The international trade audience will be able to discover all about the latest products, trends and innovations in the industry with ample networking opportunities in a superb Mediterranean atmosphere. Major companies have announced their intention to exhibit, as have up-and-coming newcomers. In addition, an interesting supporting programme will again be a source of fresh expertise and great entertainment, with experts offering insights into current developments in keynote talks, panel discussions and master classes. The CB Company and the European Cannabis Association will be among the partners supporting EVO NXT 2024.

The favourable responses following the inaugural EVO NXT festival showed that this event is filling a big gap: at last there is a forum where international exhibitors, experts and trade visitors from the world of next-generation products (NGPs) can come together in one place to engage and interact on all key topics and trends. Following the great success of the début event, the follow-up date has now been set. In addition to the current developments and future visions of the industry, the focus next year will be on harm reduction and youth protection. On the exhibitor side, visitors can expect a wide range of products from vapes and e-cigarettes to pouches and heat-not-burn products to hemp and nicotine products.

“The excellent feedback we received following the inaugural EVO NXT event left no room for doubt that we want to continue this business festival with its high-quality programme in 2024. Participants really appreciated the show's broad mix of informative platforms and networking opportunities, which is why we want to expand both next year. We're also absolutely delighted with our partnerships with the CB Company and the European Cannabis Association. With their support, we can represent the industry even more broadly at EVO NXT 2024 and also address the current questions and expectations of the cannabis industry as part of the NGP world even more specifically,” said Sabine Loos, Managing Director of Westfalenhallen Unternehmensgruppe.

With the European Cannabis Association, Messe Dortmund has succeeded in securing the services of a non-profit organisation as a partner to EVO NXT 2024, one campaigning for the legalisation and regulation of medical cannabis in Europe. The CB Company from Switzerland was already a partner at this year's EVO NXT and helped with the business festival, especially in the Green Zone which markets CBD products, among others. In addition, the network also ensures valuable input to the supporting programme. The CB Company will also be partnering with the Cannabis Business Expo and Conference (CB EXPO) in Dortmund in September 2023 to bring its expertise to the cannabis industry.
