The organizer of APE, ZJ Events LLC, organizes exhibitions such as USA CBD Expo (US CBD Expo), BIZ CANN, etc., and has established good relations with brands and distributors of American head tobacco products.

In order to report the exhibition, deeply analyze the characteristics of the e-cigarette market in the United States, and understand the market conditions of CBD and THC, the 2Firsts contacted the organizers and highly recognized each other's value. 2Firsts and APE thus reached a consensus on cooperation and established a cooperative relationship.
