International Vaping Exhibition
Networking and training will once again form the basis of this fourth edition of VapitalyPRO. The professional vaping fair, scheduled for Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th November at the new Rome Trade Fair (EAST entrance – Via A. G. Eiffel, 00148 Rome), offers industry operators the possibility of taking part in a series of free training workshops devoted to developing business for those operating in the vaping industry.
From administrative requirements to be filled to open a store to protection in the event of controls and sanctions, also discussing scientific research and respective publications, a specific focus is assigned to communication.
A series of five workshops that allow industry professionals to achieve complete preparation and that can professionally and competently satisfy consumer requests.
Entrance to the event is free of charge and reserved to operators (merchants, companies, manufacturers and distributors) and the professional press only, by prior registration on the Vapitaly website and subsequent organiser verification of the applicants’ business.
To register for VapitalyPRO, simply request a free entrance ticket by clicking here (https://www.vapitaly.com/en/ticket-request).
Participants in the training sessions will subsequently be sent a named digital attendance certificate.
