The theme for #GFN21 is ‘the Future for Nicotine’ and will address some of the concerns prompted by recent reviews and reports that will have an impact in different parts of the world, as well implications for discussions at the postponed FCTC COP 9 meeting, later this year. There will also be opportunities to chat online and to have your own short presentations (‘GFN Fives’) posted on in advance of the event on the #GFN website and available to view throughout. The presentations will remain available on the website after the conference as a permanent record of the proceedings. A number of the formal presentations in the programme will also be posted on the event website in advance, with the aim of providing the maximum time for presenters to engage in live hosted panel discussions and debates, which will provide opportunities for participants to comment and ask questions online.
