An in-person forum for animal welfare leaders

Join us for The Network Live, an in-person forum digging into the heart of today’s animal welfare struggles: staffing shortages, bottle-necked shelter populations, and dwindling access to care for both shelters and pet owners.

At this one-day event, immediately prior to The Annual Conference, we’re bringing together animal welfare colleagues, industry experts, and thought leaders to tackle the most urgent issues facing our profession right now – and to ignite actionable solutions that pave the way for a brighter future.

As we explore the complexities of animal welfare in a post-pandemic 2024, this forum promises to be a hub of inspiration and empowerment through engaging panels that offer powerful solutions and illuminating discoveries from peers and industry experts. You’ll gain invaluable insights and leave equipped with knowledge to better focus your organization and your team.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of an inspiring day that will shape the future of animal welfare. Together, we can focus on our vision and fuel success because, as our CEO Jim Tedford often says, our power is in The Network.
