New UK pet conference

The UK’s Pet Industry Federation (PIF) has launched a completely new event. Entitled  “The Business of Pets”, it is a two-day conference designed to help pet businesses take that vital step to the next level. The conference will take place on 7 and 8 June at the purpose-built Cranfield Management Development Centre near Milton Keynes and will have a full itinerary of speakers, including angel investors, key distributors, IP experts and legal advisers.

Another key element of this new conference is the Innovation of the Year Award. Entry is open to all businesses in the pet sector, including product, service or tech organisations. A judging panel will select ten finalists, who will then have the opportunity to present their innovation at the event, giving them unprecedented access to potential investors. The winner will be chosen on the final day of the event.
