PETS+ Thrive! Call for Speakers
PETS+ Thrive! will take place Sept. 21-22 at the Kansas City Convention Center in Kansas City, MO.
Attendees will experience what they love most about PETS+ magazine — education and insights from peers and industry experts alike. There also will be networking with pet retailers and service providers from across the U.S.; shopping with top brands that cater to indies; plus fun, games and happy hours.
We are planning an amazing event, and would love for attendees to take part as speakers! We'd also like to hear from business thought leaders.
If you have expertise to share, tell us about it by pitching below.
THE DEADLINE FOR PITCHES IS TUESDAY, MAY 25.
We are looking for:
• Keynote presentations that will inspire attendees to think about their independent pet businesses in new and transformative ways.
• Topics for panel discussions, breakout sessions and hands-on workshops that will cover best business practices, emerging trends and/or forward-thinking strategies across pet retail and services.
We want speakers, moderators and panelists who will:
• Offer fresh ideas and insights, not simply repeat commonly known business strategies or industry statistics.
• Broaden attendee horizons… for example, what can they learn from other industries, organizations or practices?
• Engage and involve attendees to make learning fun!
Presentations that have been given previously, particularly at other pet industry events, are ineligible for consideration. We want fresh takes!
Vendors, manufacturers and suppliers are not eligible to speak at Thrive! and are eligible to participate in a sponsorship capacity only.
