“ WE ’ RE ALSO WELCOMING LIAM HUMBERSTONE BACK . HE ’ S BEEN AN ESSENTIAL PART OF US FOR ALL THREE YEARS OF OUR RUN .”
“ In November , we also hope to help our attendees scope the size of the overall vape market and how it can both endure and mature . This will be at every level , reviewing strategies for discount retail , supermarket retail , wholesaling , convenience , each with new strategies considered .” Such topics are intrinsically tied to the experts who unpack them , each making a name for themselves . Director Jones had much to say about this year ’ s line-up . “ We ’ re especially looking forward to hearing from Max Bullock , Head of Analysis at Vape Direct . He ’ ll be enlightening us on the latest testing methods from around the world . This is a promising frontier . For example , Riot Squad have been experimenting with e-liquids providing a sensory effect ; such as calming or warming . Max ’ s scientific background means he can provide us with the proper market research and hard data in this field . “ We ’ re also welcoming Liam Humberstone back . He ’ s been an essential part of us for all three years of our run .”
Additional speakers include Charles Hamshaw-Thomas , who specialises in the public health image for nicotine products in the European market , and Tim Phillips , the Managing Director of ECigIntelligence who has been on the advisory board since 2014 . His curiously-titled talk , ‘ Crushed By The TPD ? What ’ s Happened So Far , How The Sector Is Expected To Change In The Future ’ – will cut to the heart of the conference ’ s post-TPD theme .
“ This year will be a turning point in the conference ’ s history . We keep the programme fresh year after year , and have lots of new speakers joining us this time . In fact , the majority of speakers for the 2017 conference will be new .”
For anyone still not sold on attending , or themselves forward as a potential speaker , there were these parting words : “ We ’ re confident that we ’ ve been able to provide a platform for debate and discussion that may be missing from a lot of trade shows and exhibitions . This is the perfect B2B forum , where we can converse at length about vaping as a whole , and each business represented by speakers and attendees . In November , many of the people speaking are former attendees themselves , who saw the opportunity and returned to share their expertise and guidance .” If you ’ re curious about the future of the nicotine delivery industry and wish to voice your questions , express your concerns or add your voice to its increasingly united ranks , book now or get in touch with the organisers .
