Join Vapor Technology Association at our 3rd Annual State Legislative Affairs Conference. Due to popular demand, we’re headed SOUTH – where it is warm – this year! This year’s conference will be bigger and better than ever. We will be covering the most important topics being confronted by our industry. In addition to having an up-to-the-minute FDA update, we will be discussing the fall out of the 2018 mid-term elections (federal and state) and how that impacts our industry. In addition, we will be announcing exciting new tools and programs that VTA has been working on that will benefit our industry like never before.

Moreover, as we do each year, we will be breaking down each of the challenges our industry will face at the state level in the coming legislative session. For each issue (i.e., taxes, flavors, licensure, labeling, T21) we will lay out how we will respond – both substantively and strategically. Come meet with the array of state level lobbyists from around the country that will be charged with defending our interests on the ground. See your team and network with your colleagues from New Jersey to California, from Massachusetts to Texas, from Washington to Florida and everywhere else in between. See you in Austin!

Topics Include:

● Up-To-The-Minute FDA Updates
● Discussion of political fall-out from the 2018 midterm elections
● Advice from communications experts on messaging to policymakers in a changing environment
● Leading legislators from our host state of Texas discuss state and local control
