Cannabis Industry Awards 2025 – Nominations Now Open
September 3, 2025 | IN EVENTS | BY Kate Thorpe
The Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society is proud to co-host the Cannabis Industry Awards 2025, alongside the Cannabis Industry Council and Drug Science. Presented by Curaleaf Laboratories and EastCann, the awards celebrate the individuals driving progress in the UK’s cannabis sector.
The awards dinner takes place on Thursday 6 November 2025 at the Honourable Artillery Company, London. Guests will enjoy a three-course dinner, entertainment, the awards ceremony, and an after-party – bringing together 150 leaders from across the medical cannabis community.
Recognising Individual Achievements
The Cannabis Industry Awards are unique in focusing entirely on the individuals whose work has helped move the UK cannabis sector forward. Rather than spotlighting companies, these awards celebrate the people whose skill, leadership, and commitment have made a measurable difference to patients, peers, and the wider industry.
Each of the six award categories has been carefully designed to reflect the diverse ways in which people contribute to progress. From those working tirelessly behind the scenes, to clinicians delivering exceptional patient care, to advocates raising awareness and researchers building the evidence base – the awards shine a light on all areas of achievement.
The Unsung Hero Award, supported by Curaleaf Laboratories and EastCann, highlights individuals whose dedication is often overlooked but whose impact is lasting. The Social Impact Award, supported by Hilltop Leaf, recognises those making a tangible difference to patients, families, and communities. The Contribution to Science Award celebrates groundbreaking research and innovation, while Clinician of the Year honours healthcare professionals showing leadership, compassion, and excellence in practice. The Green Award reflects the growing importance of environmental sustainability in the cannabis field, and the Best Customer Service Award acknowledges individuals who go above and beyond in their daily interactions with patients and customers.
Winners will be announced at the awards dinner, with each recipient receiving a complimentary ticket to attend.
