The MedCan Summit 2021 will be held in Auckland on 12 and 13 October and will bring together industry, healthcare professionals, government, scientists and patient advocates.

The summit is hosted by NZTech in association with BioTechNZ and is set to be the event of the year for the country’s fast-growing medical cannabis sector.
“This year’s focus will be on providing solutions and practical advice on the issues and challenges we’re facing, including exporting, investment, and regulation. We will also examine the latest medical and scientific findings, as well as breakthrough technologies, globally,” says Zahra Champion, Executive Director of BioTechNZ and MedCan Summit 2021 organiser.
“We are currently researching and developing the agenda with industry and our advisory group to ensure we deliver to delegates the most relevant, up-to-the-minute content and expert speakers from around the world – either in person or via video link.”
