We began 2020 knowing this would be a pivotal year; what has unfolded thus far is nothing short of an historic phenomenom that shifted deadlines, changed how we live and work, and injected even greater uncertainty into the business and policymaking of the tobacco and nicotine industries.

Now, connecting is more vital than ever. You can rely on TMA to bring the people and ideas that are important to tobacco and nicotine together to listen, look and learn. TMA is bringing you an unprecedented digital conference platform available from May through June.  One price includes all sessions and bonus content.
