About Us

Industrial Hemp International brings together the global hemp sector to build clear pathways for fiber, grain, and floral markets while strengthening the role of hemp within the fast-growing bioeconomy. The event is designed for the realities of 2026 and 2027, a period when regulatory clarity, coherent standards, and aligned supply chains are essential for hemp to advance as a commodity crop alongside corn, soy, cotton, and others. IHI focuses on constructive solutions that help the industry navigate recent federal restrictions and move toward expanded market access, responsible development, and long-term economic resilience.

Beyond Denver, IHI engages with partners and audiences across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America through the RootSource Media global events network. This includes the IHI Hemp Pavilion at ICBC Berlin, April 13-15, 2026, and collaborations with industry gatherings worldwide that highlight advancements in textiles, construction materials, food and feed, wellness, technology, and regenerative agriculture. Through these international connections, IHI works to unite producers, processors, researchers, policymakers, and investors around a shared mission to grow a stronger, more connected global hemp industry.
