Spannabis Bilbao 2024: what we brought to the international hemp fair

By Manon, CBD specialist at Deli Hemp Pro

From 20 to 22 September 2024, we exhibited at the Bilbao international hemp fair, Spannabis Bilbao, at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre in Spain. This article was written just before the event. Here is what the fair offered professionals, what we brought to our stand, and why trade fairs remain worth the trip for anyone buying CBD wholesale.

Spannabis Bilbao 2024 at a glance

Why the fair mattered for professionals

A fair like this is more than a date in the calendar. It is where buyers and suppliers meet, compare and learn. For a shop owner or a buyer, four things made the Bilbao fair worth attending.

Spotting new trends

Market leaders use the fair to show their latest products. Seeing them first-hand helps you anticipate what your customers will ask for next and adjust your range ahead of time.

Building your network

The fair brought together experts, influential figures and decision-makers from across the industry. A conversation on a stand can lead to a supplier, a partner or simply a useful contact for later.

Learning new skills

Training workshops, talks and demonstrations run by recognised experts gave visitors a chance to catch up on the latest developments and pick up an edge over competitors.

Promoting your own brand

For exhibitors, the fair is a showcase in front of a targeted, engaged audience: a way to build visibility and credibility in the market.

What we presented on our stand

Deli Hemp was founded on innovation, quality and respect for the environment. We believe hemp has a future in many sectors, from food to cosmetics and textiles, and our range reflects that. In Bilbao, we brought our core products.

• Hemp seed oil: rich in essential fatty acids, a staple of the hemp food range.
• Hemp protein: a complete plant-based protein, popular with vegan customers.
• Hulled hemp seeds: high in fibre, protein and essential fatty acids, used to top dishes or blend into smoothies.

A full range of CBD cosmetics

We also showed our CBD cosmetics: body and hair oils, a CBD moisturising cream, a night oil and a beard oil designed to soften the beard and condition the skin beneath it. Each product goes through a careful development process with the same attention to quality and the environment.

Innovations and partnerships

Our research and development team had been working on new formulations combining hemp with other natural ingredients, and the fair was the occasion to present them. We also showed the results of partnerships with other companies in the sector, which let us go further than we could alone.

Above all, the fair was a chance to meet our team in person. Our specialists were on the stand to answer questions and talk through projects with visitors.

Missed the fair? How to meet us

Trade fairs are only part of the story. You can browse our CBD wholesale catalogue online at any time, and our team is happy to answer questions or prepare your next order. The status of hemp flower, resin and other hemp products varies between countries and can be much stricter than in France, where our products comply with French law (delta-9-THC ≤ 0.3%). In the UK, the status of hemp flower is still contested, so check the rules for resale before ordering.
