Are you ready to deepen your pet industry knowledge and put your business on the road to success? Does the thought of learning from pet-retailing’s best-known and most admired leaders in marketing, merchandising, customer service, HR, operations, finance and tech make you happier than a dog who hears the treat bag crinkle?
