KANSAS CITY, Missouri — Aug. 17, 2021 — The Petfood Forum audience can now extend their education and networking connections through three industry events hosted in conjunction with the annual conference and exhibition. Petfood Forum is scheduled for Sept. 22-24, 2021, in Kansas City, Missouri.
“As pet food professionals gather in Kansas City for Petfood Forum, it’s a natural extension for organizations like Pet Food Alliance and Pet Food Institute to co-locate their meetings here,” said Steve Akins, executive vice president, global petfood and events with WATT Global Media. “Members gain both the opportunity to exchange ideas and industry insights at their committee meetings, while also being able to register to attend Petfood Forum for additional education and networking.”
The Pet Food Alliance annual meeting will be held on Sept. 20-21 and is open to members of the pet food rendering and association industries, and members of academia. The agenda will focus on technical content and updates on research impacting the pet food and rendering industries, as well as updates from regulatory agencies.

The Pet Food Institute’s Regulatory Affairs committee meeting will host their producer and associate members on Sept. 22.

Food Export-Northeast will conduct a Petfood Ingredient Buyers Mission on Sept. 28-29, which coincides with the Petfood Forum on-demand event. The Buyers Mission is an exclusive program connecting qualified buyers with ingredient suppliers, providing the only way to meet with these international buyers this year.
