Global Pets Forum gives me inspiration and many great ideas. It's a great opportunity to meet all the leaders in the pet business in one place. Therefore, I'm very happy to come back every year.

I always find it beneficial to pull the 3 days out of my business calendar for the GlobalPETS Forum. The networking is more intense and effective than when we have tight schedules during trade shows and the like.
