MAKE YOUR BRAND PART OF THE CULTURE.
The Cannafair Special was designed as a connected campaign for brands and creators around Cannafair 2026 – from strategic pre-event content and on-site production to cultural activation at partner formats in Düsseldorf.
Cannafair was not treated as an isolated trade-show date. The journey began before the first hall day, connected business, content and community, and was designed to finish with assets that continued working after Düsseldorf.
One weekend, three touchpoints
20 Aug · THE TERP ROOM
A curated B2B and VIP pre-dinner hosted by Hanfkranz and 420BRANDS: fine dining, terp pairing, high-value conversations and selected brand moments. Access was by personal invitation only.
21–23 Aug · Cannafair 2026
Content production, interviews, creator missions and brand activation around the trade-show presence – developed for the channels where the relevant audience was genuinely active.
21 Aug · THE STEAMERS
The community night after the first fair day: live music, hosting, DJ, live rolling and several experience areas in a Hanfkranz format accompanied by 420BRANDS as creative partner.
