Thinking 'bout THR Events

December 6-26, 2024

What’s new in things to do?

Here is your final events update for 2024. I will send out an update on Awareness Days tomorrow. After that, all that is left for the year is the latest News & Views. I’m looking forward to taking a break until next year! Ha ha ha!

I forgot to include this in yesterday’s Opportunities update: Request for Public Comment: NIH Plan to Increase Findability and Transparency of Research Results Through the Use of Metadata and Persistent Identifiers (PIDs). Responses will be accepted through February 21, 2025.

You can quickly find updates since the last edition by looking for “*NEW*.

Some of these events might not support reduced-risk products. Some have covered nicotine in the past but may not cover that topic every year.

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.
