INDUSTRY NEWS ALERT New Petfood Innovation Workshop announced for Petfood Forum 2015 conference Market appetite for pet treats spurs unique new format updates on the traditional Petfood Workshop Rockford, IL – September 22, 2014 – Representatives from Petfood Industry magazine have announced Petfood Innovation Workshop: Next Generation Treats, will premiere on Monday, April 27, 2015, leading in to the annual Petfood Forum conference. The new Workshop will feature a theme focused on the pet treat market and a one-day format to take place at the beginning of the conference rather than the end. The 23rd edition of Petfood Forum, to be held April 27-29, 2015, will be hosted at its new home in Kansas City, Mo. USA. In addition to the focus on innovation for Workshop, an entirely new Petfood Forum Events website is launching in October, coinciding with the opening of attendee Early Bird registration. The new website promises an enhanced user experience with ease of navigation, fast page-load times, video and photo galleries, and much more content about each of the four global Petfood Forum events. “Our focus is on the audience and our team has been really looking at every aspect of Petfood Forum and how we can improve it for both attendees and exhibitors,” said Steve Akins, Vice President and Publisher of Petfood Industry. “Selecting a new event location in Kansas City was the first step, allowing access to the hub of the global Petfood manufacturing industry, plus a much larger venue with more meeting and exhibiting spaces. Then it just made sense to continue that forward momentum into our online presence with the new events website, and updated format for the Petfood Innovation Workshop.” Petfood Forum and Petfood Workshop provide show visitors with opportunities to network with industry peers, learn from leading petfood experts, consultants and technical experts, visit with suppliers, and of course transact business with one another. This occurs among the petfood industry's largest collection of companies that supply brand and private-label manufacturers with ingredient, additive and formulation solutions, processing and packaging equipment, flexible packaging solutions, co-packing solutions and services, and consulting and additional services, all in one location. Features of the new event location include a short one-block walk from the host hotel to the conference and exhibition location inside the Kansas City Convention Center. Inside, attendees can expect modern and convenient meeting rooms, an expanded and flexible exhibit area and breath-taking panoramic views of downtown Kansas City. The Kansas City International Airport makes air travel to the event very accessible, and is conveniently located a short 20-minute drive from Petfood Forum’s downtown location.
