VAPEVENT NYC - NEW YORK, MARCH 22 & 23
It was great to be back at the Brooklyn Expo Center for the second
VapEvent NYC which took place over two days in March.
Being a business only event, there was no need for the loud
thumping music which is a key feature of so many vape shows
around the world.
A show like this is more for networking, doing business and to allow
trade professionals to come together and see where the industry
is going. To this end there was a full program of conferences on
both days.
Conference themes covered topics local to the New York scene,
those of national interest and also wider global concerns. New
tobacco laws in the City of New York will have a huge impact on
the vape scene so it was topical that there was a discussion on
the future of vape businesses in the city.
There was an update on federal legislation, a discussion on
market trends and opportunities and discussions on market
opportunities in Europe and further afield.
