About Pet Connections Expo

Pet Connections Expo sets itself apart by providing free, educational content for independent pet retailers to help strengthen their businesses and compete against online giants and traditional brick and mortar chains. After a successful launch in 2017, this year’s focus will continue to be on topics that are most important to this audience. The event will bring together pet industry buyers and suppliers to the East Coast, from around the entire country. “We are excited to bring our 2019 program to New Jersey and the opportunity to further our reach to retailers to participate before the busy holiday season. Stay tuned for announcements on the agenda and the industry-leading speakers that will be presenting. We will continue our focus on empowering the success of retailers.”, stated Bill Doherty, ICDevents President and Show Director.

Now entering it’s third year and conveniently timed before the holiday rush, Pet Connections Expo is a perfect event for buyers and supplies to buy and sell products, network with and meet new partners, pitch and exchange ideas, and more. This year’s newest addition, the Pet Tech Challenge, offers a grand prize of over $7,000 in value with industry-leading experts to be panel judges.

In its third year, Pet Connections Expo is a trade-only event for pet professionals, offering free, educational sessions that help independent retailers compete with the larger brick and mortars, as well as the online giants. Buyers and suppliers from around the country attend to buy and sell products, just in time for the holiday rush, network with partners, pitch and exchange ideas, and so much more.
