The organisation of Zoomark International, which will be held at Bologna Fiere on 7-10 May 2009, is continuing apace. According to the organiser, the Bologna Fiere, Zoomark International is one of the most important events in the sector's global calendar. Other examples cited are Pet Fashion Week in New York, Pets Today in Athens and Zoosphere in St. Petersburg. Bologna Fiere refers to the great interest shown in the Italian pet supplies market by eastern European firms in particular. Zoomark International 2009 will also have even more important overseas delegations: in addition to groups from the United States, Great Britain, China and Brazil, the forthcoming event will also welcome delegations from Canada, Australia and India.
