SUMMIT DETAILS
The inaugural E-Cigarette Summit was held at the Royal Society, London, in November 2013 and came at a critical point in history when both public health experts and regulators were negotiating the TPD (European Tobacco Products Directive) and grappling to understand a consumer driven product that was on an unprecedented growth trajectory.
Now moving into its 11th year in the UK and 8th year in Washington D.C, The E-Cigarette Summit has gained an unparalleled reputation as a neutral meeting point for scientists, regulators, industry, public health and practitioners to explore the latest research on e-cigarettes and facilitate respectful debate on what remain highly controversial issues. The aim will always be to ensure that disparate views can be explored in context of a common aim, which is to reduce smoking related death and disease.
HYBRID ACCESS
The Summit is planned as an in-person event for speakers but we aim to maximise the experience for all delegates, whether you are joining us in person, watching the live stream virtually or catching up later on-demand. All Summit participants will have access to the event app where they can view the Speaker slides, follow the active chat/ discussion and submit questions for the panel debates.
We will “live stream” the Summit as per the Agenda (UK Time zone). Individual videos of speaker presentations and the panel discussions will be added to the virtual platform within 24 hours of the live event for you to watch/re-watch later. The app will be live for 3 months after the event.
The app will allow you to:
- View presentation PPT slides
- Join in the on-line conversation with all delegates – including those that are virtual
- Participate in Polls
- Submit/answer questions and upvote questions for the panels
- Share thoughts, photos and suggestions
- Access videos of the presentations after the event for 3 months.
