Keller and Heckman's E-Vapor, Nicotine, and Tobacco Law Symposium is returning in 2027 for our 11th annual conference. The symposium will be held Monday, February 22 - Tuesday, February 23, 2027, in Las Vegas, NV, right before Total Products Expo (TPE) 2027! This two-day comprehensive program is designed to deliver practical insights into the legal, regulatory, and scientific developments shaping the tobacco, nicotine, and CBD/hemp product industries.
