At Petfood Forum you have the ability to select a conference pass that fits with your busy schedule so you can reconnect with your pet food industry peers, as well as the leaders and decision-makers in the industry with a Day Pass, Exhibit Hall-only Pass or the Full Conference Package.

Next year’s unique global conference and exhibition takes place on April 3-5, 2017 in Kansas City, Missouri. For 25 years, Petfood Forum has been the must-attend unique and exclusive event for the global petfood industry.

With the successful move to our new location at the Kansas City Convention Center, Petfood Forum is now in the heart of the official Animal Health Corridor, where more than 70 animal health and petfood company headquarters are located. In 2015, many attendees saw this as the perfect chance to conduct a lot of business over the course of the two-day conference and workshop. This year, attendees can expect an expanded and flexible exhibit area, modern, convenient meeting rooms, and breath-taking panoramic views of downtown Kansas City.

Petfood Forum is:

• The place where industry professionals from all over the world come together to learn, network, discover and share.
• Where petfood market leaders come to interact with the global industry’s top decision makers, including ingredient, packaging, food safety and process technology experts.
• Where the voices of thousands of industry professionals come together under one roof to transact business.
• An opportunity for networking and relationship building the old-fashioned way, face-to-face.
