As the coronavirus pandemic began to plague the world in early 2020, The CANNAVIST sought to ensure the medical cannabis and CBD community still had a virtual event to look forward to. Ergo, CBD LIVE was born and the world-leading CBD and medical cannabis virtual expo was introduced to the global community on July 31st for a three-day live event. 

With CBD LIVE going digital, entrepreneurs and consumers attended the virtual event from the comfort of their home as lockdown swept across the world. 

Since Summer 2020, The CANNAVIST has hosted three events with the fourth occurring July 28th-30th to mark our one-year anniversary. Since, CBD LIVE has welcomed thousands of business and consumer attendees from all corners of the globe.
