The speakers
Who should attend
Since 1999, we’ve been welcoming a diverse group of senior level executives (C-suite or VP/Directors) from across the pet industry:
- Retailers
- Distributors
- Manufacturers (Pet food, toys and other accessories)
- Suppliers (Ingredients, packaging..)
For optimal networking, we limit the max number of attendees to 300 executives.
GlobalPETS 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.
Great event! Definitely coming back. Really inspiring with an amazing crowd. I was really influenced and inspired to lead my company in the right direction.
