One of the attendees, Keith Nash, Vice President of Sales for JSPR and its related arm, The Council of Vapor, is a pro at events and making them effective. “I found the event exceeded our expectations from a buyer’s perspective,” he said. “The organization and team has proven to manufacturers and buyers the seriousness of this industry and I think this format will be around for a long time.” He plans to attend as a seller for future shows.
