EVO NXT: two days, four zones, countless opportunities

 

 

Business festival delivers both market overview and knowledge advantage

 

 

On 17 and 18 April, the international NGP community will gather in Prague for EVO NXT - two days full of innovation, market insights, and personal exchange. The business festival offers a compact, focused platform for everyone who wants to actively shape the market: manufacturers, brands, retailers, and strategic decision-makers from around the world.

 

Visitors will not only experience product news, but will also gain well-founded insights into future topics such as regulation, trends, and sustainability - all bundled in one place. To help attendees quickly find the exhibitors most relevant to them, EVO NXT is divided into four thematic zones: the E-Zone for e-cigarettes and accessories, the Heat-Zone for heat-not-burn products, the O-Zone for oral nicotine products such as pouches, and the Green-Zone, which hosts companies offering products with hemp and CBD.

 

The range of exhibitors is complemented by specialized service providers such as Innovative Technology Ltd, Tamarind Intelligence, FamilyBro SRL, and the Applied Research and Analysis Company.

 

 

Knowledge input and networking on an international level

 

 

In addition to the international exhibitor lineup, EVO NXT’s high-profile conference program - featuring keynotes, panels, and workshops - provides strategic insights into the topics shaping the industry. From global WHO guidelines to European reform initiatives such as TPD3 and TTD, international experts will analyze how regulation is transforming markets, what impact tax policy has on product categories, and what role sustainable packaging and safety standards will play in the future. Visitors will receive concrete assessments on markets, trends, and sustainability issues to support assortment decisions, investments, and strategic positioning.

 

Trade visitors now have the chance get to know some of the speakers from the conference program in advance on the EVO NXT social media channels. Under the motto “Future Voices,” short videos with teasers about the trade fair are regularly posted on LinkedIn and Instagram.

Deep conversations and new partnerships

 

 

EVO NXT deliberately focuses on a personal and concentrated atmosphere. Short distances, clear structures, and a high-quality participant environment create ideal conditions for meaningful conversations - not just exchanging business cards, but building reliable business relationships.

 

On Friday, April 17, networking will even extend beyond the exhibition floor: at the exclusive Get Together Event at Spojka Karlín - just a few steps from Forum Karlín - exhibitors and visitors will meet from 7 p.m. in a relaxed setting. A first-class dinner and drinks will provide the perfect framework for deepening conversations and initiating new partnerships. All information about the event can be found here.

 

Thos who don't want to miss out on EVO NXT, can already secure their ticket online – and gain not only a wealth of inspiration, but also an exclusive knowledge advantage.

Reynolds Puts Nearly 183,000 U.S. Contracted Outlets Under Age-Verification Rules, Covering 94% of Volume — Can It Shift an Unauthorized Vape Market?
Reynolds American says nearly 183,000 U.S. retail outlets are under contract, with its Retail Marketing Plan Contract covering about 94% of company volume and requiring point-of-sale age verification. The company combines those contracts with We Card, TruAge, NACS-linked infrastructure and POS integration, while enhanced Vuse Pro retail rules add ID scanning, purchase limits and stronger underage-sales accountability. The initial Vuse Pro rollout targets about 50,000 stores. The system is taking shape as unauthorized vapor products remain dominant in parts of the U.S. market: a 2026 study estimated they accounted for 69.4% of tracked brick-and-mortar e-cigarette dollar sales in December 2025.

As JUUL2 Wins FDA Authorization, Harm Reduction Journal Highlights the Role of Real-World Evidence in Nicotine Product Regulation
As JUUL2 Wins FDA Authorization, Harm Reduction Journal Highlights the Role of Real-World Evidence in Nicotine Product Regulation
A commentary published in the international open-access, peer-reviewed Harm Reduction Journal argues that randomized controlled trials remain central to evaluating smoking cessation efficacy but cannot alone capture real-world uptake, complete switching, longer-term use and population impact of non-combustible nicotine products such as e-cigarettes, heated tobacco and nicotine pouches. The authors frame impact as “reach × efficacy” and call for real-world evidence to complement RCTs. Three days after publication, the FDA authorized three JUUL2 products and highlighted complete switching among adult smokers in explaining its decision, providing a timely regulatory backdrop to the debate.
