AGENDA 2023

The Public Health & Tobacco Summit, Asia, 2023 will take place at the Le Meridien Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia  on 5th July.

Below is a draft schedule for the timings and structure of the Summit.  The  Agenda will be released later in the year.

The Summit is planned as an in-person event for speakers but we aim to maximise the experience for all delegates, whether you are joining us in person, watching the live stream virtually or catching up later on-demand.  All Summit participants will  have access to the event app where they can view the Speaker presentation slides, follow the active chat/ discussion and submit questions for the panel debates.

We will “live stream” the Summit in local time Malaysia. Individual videos of speaker presentations and the panel discussions will be added to the virtual platform within 24 hours of the live event for you to watch/re-watch later.  The app will be live for 3 months after the event.
