UK pet businesses are being urged to come forward now if they are considering exhibiting at Global Pet Expo 2027, as the Pet Industry Federation prepares to make a final decision on the size of its planned UK Pavilion.

Taking place in Orlando, Florida, from 17-19 March 2027, Global Pet Expo is one of the world’s leading pet industry trade shows, attracting major retailers, distributors, wholesalers and commercial partners from across the US and international market.

PIF has been developing a dedicated UK presence within the show’s International Pavilion, with a proposed location close to one of the main trolley routes and a range of participation options available, from smaller display formats through to full exhibition booths and larger space-only stands.

Participating companies would benefit from a co-ordinated UK presence, collective promotion, liaison with Global Pet Expo and APPA, practical pre-show support, freight and compliance signposting, buyer and distributor-focused activity and on-site support.

Eligible first-time companies participating through the UK Pavilion would also benefit from a specially negotiated APPA membership rate.

For UK brands looking seriously at the US market, Global Pet Expo offers access to a major concentration of retailers, distributors and commercial partners. The UK Pavilion is intended to make that process easier by providing a co-ordinated presence and practical support around the show.

Businesses interested in participating should contact Alexandra.baker@petfederation.co.uk at PIF as soon as possible.
