WELCOME SUMMIT, 2026
We want to thank everyone who participated in the 2025 US E-Cigarette Summit. We look forward to seeing you to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the US Summit in Washington D.C., on May 8th 2026. Registration and hotel booking are now open. We will announce the 2026 speakers and agenda over the next few weeks.
We are excited to return to Washington, D.C, for the 10th Annual Summit on May 8, 2026, under our new name, The Nicotine Summit – Science, Regulation & Public Health
The Nicotine Summit will uphold our long-standing tradition of fostering respectful dialogue and rigorous analysis of independent scientific evidence on health, regulatory and policy issues that will shape future generations’ smoking and nicotine use.
The nicotine landscape has changed considerably over the last decade, and defining the appropriate role and regulatory framework for non-combustible nicotine products has created a once-in-a-generation challenge and opportunity. The Summit provides a unique forum to discuss these developments and analyse the latest science and evidence in a respectful, evidence-based environment.
There is still much work to be done to create a smoke-free society for everyone. We hope you can join us either online or in Washington, D.C., in May.
The speakers and agenda on this website currently relate to the 2025 event. We will be updating this in the next few weeks.
WE ARE HYBRID
The Nicotine Summit USA is hybrid and offers live and on-demand viewing option for those who are unable to join us in person. We will “live stream” the Summit as per the agenda (US EST) Individual videos of speaker presentations and the panel discussions will be added to the virtual platform within 48 hours of the live event for you to watch/re-watch later. The app will be live for 3 months after the event.
