By K Futur VapeThe Global Independent Nicotine Network (GINN) has confirmed it will be attending PouchXchange at InterTabac – InterSupply in Dortmund on 18 September, bringing together innovators, regulators and industry leaders to focus on compliance, science and market growth for nicotine pouches.
The event will open with arrival and welcome drinks from 6:00 to 6:30 PM, followed by a Sponsor Spotlight segment from 6:30 to 7:00 PM, featuring pitch-style presentations. Guests will then enjoy a buffet dinner between 7:00 and 8:00 PM before moving into speed networking and breakout sessions from 8:00 to 9:00 PM.
Two parallel roundtables will tackle key industry themes. The Compliance & Regulations session will see Robert Sidebottom of Arcus Compliance Ltd deliver a compliance overview and Q&A, alongside a science and standards presentation with Dr Nveed Chaudhary. The Business Development & Collaboration session will explore opportunities in Spain, the UK and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) with Phil Hudson, Mónica Andrade de Orbe and Joel Rubenstein, as well as opportunities in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa with Dino Sinanovic of EPD International, Fahrim Shirinzade of PouchDaddy and Joe Sakr.
Attendees can also book private 10-minute one-to-one consultations with Dr Nveed Chaudhary for science and regulatory advice, Robert Sidebottom for compliance and regulatory guidance, and Paweł Woźnicki from Chemnovatic for insights into nicotine investigation.
The evening will conclude with free networking and entertainment from 9:00 to 10:00 PM.
With regulatory pressures mounting and innovation in nicotine pouches accelerating, GINN says this event is the place to address responsible harm reduction, compliant growth and global opportunities – while condemning rogue operators that undermine the category’s credibility.
