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 time dedicated to speakers covering THR.
This is a good resource for information on conferences about addiction/behavior.
Notes:
I create these newsletters as a personal project. They are not affiliated with any current or past employers or groups I do volunteer work with. I receive no financial compensation for my efforts to create these newsletters.
