With the industry’s biggest week fast approaching, organisers are urging guests to book their tickets for the Cannabiz Awards 2026 before it’s too late.
The awards presentation will take place at Melbourne’s iconic Plaza Ballroom on Tuesday, August 11, celebrating the individuals, businesses and organisations making an outstanding contribution to the Australian and New Zealand cannabis sector.

Following the ceremony, the industry will continue the celebrations at the official after-party at the Carlton Club, where special guest DJs will keep the festivities going well into the night.
Hosting this year’s awards is acclaimed comedian Katie Wainhouse, whose sharp wit and engaging stage presence wowed the audience last year. She will perform brand new material before revealing the winners of the industry’s most coveted honours.

And with this year’s ceremony taking place in the week of the ACannabis conference in Melbourne, demand for tickets is high.
The Cannabiz Awards has developed a reputation as one of the industry’s premier networking and social events, bringing together leaders, innovators, healthcare professionals, investors and advocates for an evening of recognition and celebration.
Cannabiz co-founder and chief growth officer Martin Lane said: “If you’re thinking about coming, now is the time to book. We’d hate for people to miss out on what promises to be a memorable night.”
