InterTabac and InterSupply have gained an important new partner in the form of the Independent European Vape Alliance (IEVA), according to a press release from organizer Westfalenhallen Unternehmensgruppe.

The twin fairs are already supported by 30 well-known and highly respected entities, and these are now being joined by the Independent European Vape Alliance (IEVA) which will have its own space at the upcoming edition of the twin shows to be held in Dortmund between 14 and 16 September 2023. Visitors will have the opportunity to establish contact with IEVA experts on the exhibition floor and in an exclusive lounge situated directly in the exhibition halls. The alliance will also be contributing to a big-name discussion panel as part of the shows’ supporting programme. IEVA wants to use the partnership to represent the interests of the vaping industry at European level and beyond.
“We are delighted to welcome the Independent European Vape Alliance as a new partner to our world-beating trade shows InterTabac and InterSupply. The collaboration underlines the importance of our events and the international reputation they enjoy. I’m convinced the IEVA’s proposition will be a valuable enrichment, especially for representatives of the vaping industry which is performing well despite a difficult overall environment,” said Sabine Loos, Managing Director of Westfalenhallen Unternehmensgruppe which owns and operates the Messe Dortmund venue, commenting on the new partnership.
IEVA Chairman Dustin Dahlmann is also convinced of the benefits the partnership will bring: “The Independent European Vape Alliance is proud to be a partner of the highly respected twin shows InterTabac and InterSupply. We look forward to the opportunity to present the messages of the responsible vaping industry to a wide international audience. The IEVA is committed to a nuanced public perception and regulation of e-cigarettes as a harm-reducing alternative to smoking, and InterTabac and InterSupply provide the right forum for publicising this further – in 2023 and at future editions of the twin shows.”
