Alternative AWards.

The next round of the InterTabac World Alternative Awards will kick off on September 16, 2026, with a clear focus on innovations in the reduced-risk tobacco and nicotine segment.

Manufacturers, brand managers, distributors, and decision-makers will gather here to discuss new concepts, assess market trends, and learn about award-winning products. The award-winning submissions show which approaches are currently convincing and which developments are emerging. Ten awards will be presented in the four main categories: “Pouch Products,” “Vape & Vapor Solutions,” “Next Generation & Reduced Risk Products,” and “Brand & Market Impact.”

Nominated companies gain attention from international buyers and media, as well as valuable industry feedback. Guests gain insights into current product trends and positioning. They can also deepen existing contacts or forge new connections with a clear goal in mind: reviewing product ranges, initiating collaborations, and sharpening their understanding of the market.

Between award sequences and open discussion phases, gala moments alternate with focused exchanges. Product discussions, initial business ideas, and personal contacts arise where business and stage meet.

As a trade fair evening with a gala character, the award ceremony sets a clear thematic accent and transitions from presentation to perspective.
