Notable speakers include that of the outspoken UK celebrity doctor and special guest, Dr. Christian Jessen.

When asked about CBD products Dr Christian said:

CBD seems to be popping up everywhere. As a ‘wellness’ product there are some quite frankly outrageous claims being made. I am aware that the various components of cannabis may have some benefits but more detailed research is needed.”

When asked about the invitation of Dr Christian to the Hemp and CBD Expo, Tommy Prendergast the event manager said:

Dr Christian has strong opinions on a range of issues, his views are respected and based on hard evidence. We are convinced that Dr Christian will bring a voice of reason to the proceedings”.
