The highly anticipated VapeFirst Morocco Expo 2023, which had been meticulously planned long in advance, faced an unforeseen temporary cancellation.

Overnight, more than 80 Chinese vape brands and over 1,000 local dealers were compelled to halt their preparations. Despite attempts by a few participating brands to engage embassy resources for resolution, their participation in the exhibition remained unattainable.

VapeFirst Expo Offical Response from social media

Undoubtedly, the significant influence stems from more than 80 Chinese e-cigarette brands.

Initially, there was a plan to utilize this opportunity to promote their new products and expand sales channels. The exhibitors had completed all the exhibition arrangements, but were informed about the cancellation of the exhibition on the eve of the opening. Consequently, they are constrained to conduct limited product promotion meetings and channel dealer communication meetings in the vicinity.

As of now, regarding the measures taken after the temporary cancellation of the exhibition, the official news from the exhibition organizer has not been released.
