PIF launches Business of Pets Conference 2025

 

The Pet Industry Federation has launched ticket sales for its Business of Pets Conference 2025, which will take place on 5-6 June at the Cranfield Business Management Centre, near Milton Keynes.

 

Sponsored by Worldpay and designed for ambitious pet businesses, the conference will provide valuable insights, expert-led discussions and networking opportunities for both manufacturers and service-based businesses. With a programme focused on business growth, funding, innovation, and emerging industry trends, attendees will gain practical knowledge to help them scale their operations.

 

Programme Highlights include:

  • Industry expert panels covering customer acquisition, funding opportunities, and business growth strategies
  • Keynote sessions featuring leading voices from the pet industry
  • A dedicated innovation showcase, where selected entrepreneurs will present cutting-edge products and services
  • Networking opportunities to connect with fellow professionals, investors, and industry leaders
  • The announcement of the PIF Innovation Award winner on the final day

The PIF Innovation Awards, now in their third year, celebrate businesses that are driving the pet industry forward through pioneering products, services, and technology. Ten finalists will have the opportunity to present their innovations live at the conference, with the winner being selected on 6 June. Entries for the awards are currently open, providing businesses with a valuable platform to gain industry recognition.

 

Nigel Baker, CEO of the Pet Industry Federation, commented: "The Business of Pets Conference is a key event for any pet business looking to grow and innovate. With expert-led sessions and opportunities to connect with industry leaders, it provides an invaluable platform for learning and collaboration. We are also delighted to host the live Innovation Award showcase, which highlights the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit within the pet industry."
