The Vaper Expo UK: showcasing top tobacco brands.
The Vaper Expo UK tobacco exhibition opens with 20,000 sqm exhibit space, 20,000 visitors, and 500 brands.

The Vaper Expo UK, a tobacco exhibition, will open at the National Exhibition Centre in the UK on October 7th at 9:00 AM BST (5:00 PM Beijing time). The exhibition space is over 20,000 square meters and is expecting 20,000 attendees along with over 500 exhibiting companies and brands.


On October 6th, as the exhibition opened, 2FIRSTS frontline staff provided the latest updates on the exhibition setup to attendees in the exhibition hall.


The latest material received from the scene indicates that this exhibition has a more lively and diverse style compared to the Dortmund tobacco exhibition.

In addition to the impressive display of luxury cars, there is also a large-scale bumper car amusement park on site for exhibitors to enjoy.


In addition, there is a large main stage located at the center of the exhibition floor for exhibitors to use, providing attendees with a better exhibition experience.
