Conferences

Conferences bring together academics, industry professionals, stakeholders, and experts from various sectors. They serve as platforms for knowledge exchange, collaboration, networking and the discussion of emerging trends, challenges, and innovations.

We see conferences as an opportunity to share our science openly and transparently, and to actively contribute to the dialogue on THR. In 2025, we attended more than 20 conferences, presenting the science behind our Smokeless Products, ranging from broad toxicology meetings to more specialist forums on nicotine and tobacco science.

These conferences represent a valuable opportunity to engage with stakeholders interested in scientific research on tobacco and nicotine. Discussions amongst conference attendees can lead to new professional connections, diversified viewpoints, and innovative thinking.

We attend and present at a number of conferences throughout the year and publish the material presented by our scientists and experts which can be found below.
