8th International CannaBusinessŇ 2003
Press Release 07.08.03
Not much time
is left till the 8th International CannaBusinessŇ 2003 opens its doors from 12-14 September for exhibitors
and (trade) visitors from all over the world. Already now, more than 100
exhibitors from 16 nations have registered – the CannaBusinessŇ is
practically booked up!
This year`s CannaBusinessŇ
promises to become a true innovation offensive: We know
that several exhibitors intend to present completely new products exclusively
at the 8th International CannaBusinessŇ. And the high percentage of about one
third of new exhibitors will surely make for further fair novelties and product
innovations. You can expect the market place CannaBusinessŇ to
become even more interesting and worthwhile for
visitors and media representatives this year.
The international supporting programme 2003 will feature more highlights than ever
before. For example, we offer you an attractive hemp fashion show
(organised by Hanfmode International, Wittenberg, www.hanfmode-international,
in cooperation with Hempro International, www.hempro.com), as well as body
painting and glass blowing as live performances. Also again the popular
walking acts will make people smile, apart from that there will be different
live music acts, offering something for every taste, reaching from a
special dj set with simultaneous light show to Reggae/Hip Hop performances
(Ruffstar Family) and atmospheric didgeridoo sounds. Apart from that, the new comic “FAT FREDDY COMIXINE Issue #2” and the film “Haschisch” will be presented.
The latter will also be shown parallel to the fair in the cinema “die
Kurbel” in Castrop-Rauxel.
In
addition to the traditional product award, the innovation contest
(introduced last year with great success) will take place again. The valuable
price for the 2003 top innovation is donated by the Republic of Bongland, and
they also organise the contest. Their glass art piece amazed everybody last
year, not only the winner himself. More info at http://www.cannabusiness.info/inno03_e.html.
This year also associations and other institutions, as e.g.
the Asscociation for Drug Policy (Verein für Drogenpolitik, VfD) and the German
Hemp Asscociation (Deutscher Hanfverband, DHV), will be especially well
presented so that important topics
like political and economic lobbying for hemp will not be missed out.
Now online: We have established a special
press download site at http://www.cannabusiness.info/presse.html
and an info
site about the innovation contest 2003 at http://www.cannabusiness.info/inno03.html.
This
year the comfortable beergarden will be open again, inviting to rest and
enjoy foods and drinks.
And
our new well-reputated gastronomy partner Stolzenhoff guarantees fresh
delicious foods at affordable prices.
