Event Resources:
Check out the public Google calendar of THR-related events created and maintained by Clive Bates.
The event calendars from Ecig Intelligence and Tobacco Reporter have extensive trade show listings. I don’t usually include trade shows and expos in my event listings unless they have dedicated time for speakers covering THR.
This is a valuable resource for information on conferences related to addiction and behavioral issues.
This website shares events centered on health equity and other health-related topics.
Some of these events might not support the use of reduced-risk products. Some have covered nicotine in the past, but may not cover that topic every year.

Notes:
I create these newsletters as a personal project. They are not affiliated with any current or past employers or groups with which I volunteer.
I receive no financial compensation for my efforts to create these newsletters. Thank you to those who have offered to fund this project and compensate me for my time and effort. This is my gift to those interested in nicotine. Community service is important to me. Volunteering is something I have done since I was a child.
My blog, Skip’s Corner, has an X/Twitter account.
My personal accounts are on BlueSky, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter).
Assistive Technology Statement: My favorite search sources are Google and PubMed. Since 2022, I have used Grammarly to help me with spelling, punctuation, grammar, and clarity (I need clarity help because I often use words in a different order than other people do). I sometimes play with ChatGPT for fun, but do not use it to compose my written work. I occasionally explore using AI for editing suggestions because avoiding repetition, being concise, and staying on topic are challenges I face every day.
Until next time….
