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.

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.

- Dušan Plaček

CEO of Plaček Group

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.

- Henriette Bylling

CEO of Aller Petfood

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.
