On behalf of the organizing committee of the VIth International Cannabaceae Symposium, I warmly invite you to join us for this significant event, which will take place from September 22nd to 26th, 2025, in Davis, California.

Davis, located in the heart of California’s agricultural region, has played a pivotal role in the cultivation of plants within the Cannabaceae family. California, with its progressive cultivation techniques, has been at the forefront of breeding innovations. This region’s growers have developed exceptional cultivars known for their unique terpene profiles, resilience, and medicinal properties. The Cannabaceae family, including species like Cannabis and Humulus lupulus (hops), has had a profound impact on agriculture, medicine, and industry. Modern advancements in breeding have led to high-performing, disease-resistant cultivars that serve both the recreational and medical markets worldwide. California’s influence on the global market is unmatched, with innovations in cultivation, processing, and regulation shaping industry standards globally.

The primary aim of the symposium is to advance technological innovation and industrial development within the Cannabaceae family, foster sustainable cultivation practices, and support rural revitalization through prosperous industry growth. The event will also explore the development of international hubs for breeding, cultivation, postharvest and other research in this dynamic field. We look forward to welcoming you to Davis, California, to celebrate the scientific achievements and diversity within the Cannabaceae family. Let us explore new frontiers in cultivation and share insights that will shape the future of the industry.

See you in Davis in September 2025!
