The team members of Cultivators are always busy. Between project management, training, and cultivation advice, we make sure to visit and contribute to international events.
Over the last two months, we have had multiple opportunities to participate in several important conferences and exhibitions. These include CB Expo, Vertifarm, Canadian Greenhouse Conference, and EU Cannabis Summit. We have not only attended these events but also presented, moderated discussion panels, and connected with new professionals and companies.
CB Expo took place on September 16th in Dortmund, Germany, where Sonny Moerenhout and Nicole Kuleshova attended the event. Sonny moderated two panels; “Realizing Successful Cannabis Facility Design & Energy Efficiency” and “IPM Challenges in (Medical) Cannabis Cultivation.”

This program was launched in conjunction with the first European physical cannabis training for cultivators, which Innexo recently introduced.

The importance of events, exhibitions, and conferences like these lies in their support for the development and future-proofing of our industry. By working together, sharing knowledge, discussing challenges, and learning new things, we strengthen the foundation for collective progress. These are key aspects that will help us grow and advance as a sector. As Cultivators, we are more than happy and proud to be part of this change, continuously taking steps toward these shared goals.
