Zdinak’s keynote featured “Using science & research to survive with rapidly changing federal / state regulatory environments, consumer needs, and product-to-market strategies”. She shared how credible science, transparent engagement with regulators, and using behavioral evidence can support smarter distribution decisions.

Here’s the CHALLENGE: An FDA Marketing Granted Order is no longer a finish line — it’s your entry ticket. State-level rules are rapidly tightening, and the gap between “federally authorized” and “commercially viable” is widening. Federal authorization is step one. The harder part? Navigating the state patchwork that decides whether your products actually stay on shelf.

If you sell, ship, finance, or forecast nicotine products in multi-state channels, you’ll want to tune-in to this SPEAKER SESSION REPLAY.
