The CannMed 25 Innovation and Investment Summit is a unique opportunity to explore, grow, and network with the greatest minds in cannabis science, medicine, cultivation, and safety testing from all around the world. 

Since its inception at Harvard in 2016, CannMed has been a destination for the world’s top researchers, innovators, and investors to share novel findings, announce new technologies, and forge lasting connections. Here you can enhance your understanding of the therapeutic potential of the cannabis plant and learn from those who are driving the industry forward. 

We invite researchers and innovators to submit abstracts that describe new and novel research related to one of CannMed's core focus Areas: Science, Medicine, Cultivation, and Safety.  

 

Abstract Submission Guidelines

  • Submitters should be aware that if selected they will be allotted 30 minutes to present their abstract and answer questions from the audience. 
  • The abstract should be submitted in either Word or PDF format and include:
    • A sentence stating the objective of the study
    • A brief statement of the methods used, if pertinent
    • A summary of the results obtained
    • A statement of the conclusions. It is not satisfactory to say “the results will be discussed.”
  • Abstracts must be submitted by, and if selected, presented by the first author or one of the co-authors.
  • Submissions need to support one of the four focus areas of the conference: Science, Medicine, Cultivation, or Safety.
