"Where big ideas come to life"

Produced by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) and Pet Industry Distributors Association (PIDA), the Global Pet Expo considers itself the premier international gathering for the pet supplies industry. Pet product manufacturers, retailers, importers, trend setters and creative minds will convene for the trade show at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, on 23 -25 March."The national pet industry is booming, with sales exceeding the 100-bn-dollar mark for the first time in industry history in 2020," said Andy Darmohraj, EVP and COO of APPA. "After almost two years of virtual meetings and digital interactions, we are elated to be immersed in the energy that only comes from connecting in person. The trade show team has been hard at work behind the scenes making sure Global Pet Expo 2022 will be the best yet. Now is the time to seize the opportunity - discover new products and trends, learn from the experts about what it takes to succeed, and network with industry peers."
As the first major international pet industry trade show each year, the Global Pet Expo regards itself as the event to kick-start the new year and learn all about the up-and-coming trends for 2022. The show features more than 3 000 product launches, nearly 300 first-time exhibitors, and more than 1 000 companies from across the globe showcasing all pet product types. The latest product launches will be presented in the New Products Showcase - a dedicated 45 000-square-feet space (almost 4 200 m2) displaying nearly 1 000 product entries, making it the largest new products showcase at any pet product industry trade show in the world, according to APPA und PIDA.

A new development this year is the 2022 show's move into the South Concourse of the Orange County Convention Center, presenting entirely new features designed with attendees in mind: improved layout, easier-to-navigate floor plan, simplified registration process, enhanced mobile app, and upgraded services on site. The popular Global Learning Series is open to all attendees, featuring new Learning Pathways and Knowledge areas geared towards all attendees, such as the Retailer Success Series, Market Data, Customer Experience, Leadership, Profitability and Growth, and more.
