SuperPet 2020 is an event-full fair

The third edition of SuperPet will be held on 14-16 April at Expo Dom Pedro in Campinas/SP, Brazil. The fair’s location is one of its attractions.

Unusual but convenient

Most events for the pet industry are held in São Paulo, but people are no longer prepared to spend three hours navigating busy city traffic. The SuperPet’s venue is a 30-minute drive from Viracopos International Airport, enabling visitors and speakers to make day trips to the event.

Events for all

Natália Miranda, director of fair organiser
Top.Co Group, explains that the target audience
for the fair is pet shop owners, veterinary clinics, independent veterinarians, business intermediaries and, of course, manufacturers and distributors.

To cater to this broad group of visitors, the show has many different parallel events. One of these is a series of lectures. Speakers are well-known experts in the Latin American market, such as economist Ricardo Amorim, host of the Globo News round-table TV programme Manhattan Connection and columnist at IstoÉ magazine.

A special SuperPet event is the final of Groom Brasil, the largest grooming competition in Latin America.

VetScience

Another important part of the SuperPet programme is The VetScience IBvet conference. Fifteen veterinary specialisations have their own programme during the fair’s three days. This event is organised together with the Brazilian Veterinary Institute IBvet, linked to the Jaguariúna University Center. “With this collaboration, we have a huge team who make sure that Congresso VetScience is a success,” says Natália. There will be lectures given by many renowned national and international speakers, including Rodrigo Cardoso Rabelo, manager of the critical care patients department at Intensivet.

Scientific award

For the first time, SuperPet is partnering with IBvet to present awards to the best scientific papers registered at the event. A total of R$20,000 ($4,790 / €4,300) will be divided between the winning papers in three categories: scientific papers, resident and specialised work, and beginners.

“Regardless of the level of a university student, they can still participate in the award process,” explains Natália. Papers can be submitted on the VetScience website. The award is being coordinated by Prof. dr. Aline Zoppa, veterinary surgeon with a master’s degree in surgery from FMVZ USP and coordinator of the Campinas Veterinary Hospital.

For Natália, it is the joint effort of all involved in SuperPet that makes the event grow and be so successful.
