Welcome

AMCA is delighted to invite you to participate in the 2026 AMCA United in Compassion (UIC) Conference, Australia’s premier annual gathering for the medicinal cannabis sector.

Our sincere gratitude goes to Lucy Haslam for entrusting us with the stewardship of this landmark event. Since its inaugural UIC Symposium in 2014, the event has grown from a modest one-day meeting into a transformative three-day international forum, now entering its milestone 10th year. 

The AMCA UIC Conference 2026 will feature almost 100 speakers and welcome more than 1,000 delegates from across Australia and the globe. Following overwhelmingly positive feedback from the UIC 2025 Conference, we are delighted to return to the Royal International Convention Centre (RICC) in Brisbane from 26–28 February 2026. 

This year’s theme, “Shaping the Future”, is more than aspirational – it reflects a critical moment for the medicinal cannabis sector. The theme is a timely call to action as the sector navigates intense regulatory scrutiny and the need for transformation.

We look forward to welcoming you to Brisbane for this milestone event and engaging in meaningful dialogue to chart the future of our sector.
