UKVIA hosts forum and awards dinner for e-cigarette industry
The UKVIA organized an e-cigarette industry forum and VPZ sponsored the celebratory awards banquet.

The UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA) organized an electronic cigarette industry forum followed by a celebratory and award ceremony dinner, which was sponsored by British independent e-cigarette retailer and manufacturer VPZ.


VPZ, one of the founding members of UKVIA, is the biggest e-cigarette retailer in the UK with over 150 stores nationwide. Last year, the company launched a nationwide "e-cigarette clinic" service to assist more individuals on their journey to quit smoking.


Currently, other sponsors include FEELM, a leading provider of closed electronic cigarette systems under the technology flagship brand of SMOORE; according to a press release, Geek Bar, a leading disposable electronic cigarette manufacturer in the UK, and 1account provide age and identity verification services used by approximately 40% of online electronic cigarette retailers in the UK.


The official event and media partners for this event include World Vape Show, ECigIntelligence, Vapouround, Vapor Magazine, Planet of the Vapes, Vape Business, and Vapor Voice.


The UKVIA Forum will take place on Friday, September 9th, at the QEII Centre in Westminster. The Forum will cover many of the current key issues facing the e-cigarette industry, including regulatory environment, compliance and enforcement, youth prevention, and sustainability of e-cigarettes. The e-cigarette industry will be discussed.


The Economic and Business Research Center's Economic Advisor, Owen Good, will unveil the results of the first-ever economic impact report of the industry at a forum, commissioned by UKVIA.


John Dunne stated that "We anticipate a record attendance for this forum, as it comes at a crucial time in the industry, between the independent review by Javed Khan commissioned by the government, which highlights the crucial role that e-cigarettes play in reducing smoking rates. This is an opportunity for the government to actively review the regulatory environment for e-cigarettes post-Brexit, as well as provide new tobacco control plans." Dunne is the Director General of UKVIA.


During the conference, an exhibition and banquet will also be held, during which awards will be presented to individuals and organizations who have made the greatest efforts in promoting and developing the electronic cigarette industry. These awards are recognized within the industry.


The headline sponsor for the awards gala is VPZ, while the entertainment sponsor is Alternative Nicotine Delivery Solutions (ANDS).
