LEATHERHEAD, England, March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

First annual conference dedicated to the electronic nicotine delivery systems industry 

More than 80 key stakeholders from the electronic nicotine delivery systems industry will convene at St James' Court Hotel in London, UK from 14-15 June 2017 for the inaugural edition of Smithers Rapra's ENDS conference.

The European Commission began regulating electronic nicotine delivery systems as of 19 May 2014, with the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) becoming applicable to all EU member states as of 20 May 2016. Understanding how this affects your business moving forward and what you need to do to ensure compliance is just one of the areas that will be covered at ENDS this June.

What makes this conference unique is that not only will it cover the regulatory landscape; the conference will also provide attendees with the latest information on testing, standards, methods and concerns, materials and components for ENDS as well as looking at future product development.

The 2017 agenda will include presentations from:

  • Beryl Keeley, E-Cigarette Notification Scheme Lead, MHRA
  • Tom Pruen, Chief Scientific Officer, ECITA
  • Ian Fearon, Principal Scientist and Head of Clinical Research, British American Tobacco
  • Nele Zgavc, Programme Manager, Governance & Resilience - Healthcare, British Standards Institute
  • Representatives from other leading industry players including Hall Analytical, ELiquid Solutions, Eos Scientific, Leadscope and bibra toxicology advice and consulting.

In addition to the informative and engaging programming, ENDS will include over eight hours of dedicated business networking time throughout the conference, as well as poster presentations from Altria.

Smithers Rapra has a long history of hosting regulatory and testing-focused conferences, such as the renowned Extractables & Leachables and Global Food Contact conferences, so attendees can be sure that ENDS will provide the most up to date and relevant information available, as well as an excellent conference experience.
