The annual UKVIA Forum is back and will be held on 15th November 2024!
UKVIA stands for “UK Vaping Industry Association” and the forum is for B2B (Business to Business) networking and discussions.
We are delighted to be an Event Partner for this year’s UKVIA Forum which takes place at the London Marriott Hotel, Regents Park.
We would love to see you there and have secured a 15% discount on ticket prices for Ecigclick readers with the discount code “ECC15”!
This year’s theme is “The Changing Vaping Environment – Succeeding in a new policy landscape”. It comes at a time when the government is poised to undertake the biggest ever reform of vaping regulations.
The Forum will focus on issues including how the Tobacco and Vapes Bill and other regulatory changes could play out and what needs to happen to ensure a balance between supporting adult smokers to quit while defeating youth vaping and combatting growing black market sales.
With the government potentially looking at giving the Secretary of State new powers to regulate flavoured vapes, in store vape displays and packaging, plus with the ban on disposable vapes just around the corner, there has arguably never been a more important time in the history of vaping in the UK for the industry to come together to discuss how the category continues its critical role as the most effective smoking cessation tool on the market.
Why Attend?
With the current political situation changing the forum aims to promote discussion and understanding of the challenges of legislation. There will be plenty of high profile speakers including participants from Government, Parliament, Regulatory Bodies, Healthcare Community, Retail Sector and Researchers.
Key Forum themes include:
- Politics in the spotlight – Working with a new Government
- From licensing to product and regulatory compliance – Killing the black market, not the consumers
- Closing The Trust Gap – How public education campaigns can be critical to correcting the vape narrative
The Forum also includes an exhibition area, offers networking throughout the day and features an evening reception with a light buffet and drinks from 5.30 -7.30pm.
There will be panel debates and keynote presentations to help delegates understand the current landscape and share their views on current and upcoming regulations.
Of course this is also an excellent opportunity to network and make new connections and also promote your products or services. Sponsorships are available to showcase your brands.
The target attendees include:
- Vape retailers
- Vape manufacturers
- Vape wholesalers
- Vape distributors
- Vape compliance specialists
