CEO Alan Zhao Invited to Present on the Role of Media in Harm Reduction through NGPs

 

 

Aside from comprehensive on-site reporting, 2Firsts co-founder and CEO, Zhao Tong, has been invited to give a keynote speech. On September 20, Zhao will participate virtually in a forum and share insights on “The Role and Value of News Media in Harm Reduction through NGPs,” discussing the critical role of media in disseminating information about NGP harm reduction and promoting the industry’s healthy development.

 

Harm reduction has long been a key focus for 2Firsts.

This year, 2Firsts continues to champion this topic, emphasizing the vital role of media in the industry.
