As global markets continue to evolve, the pet industry is entering a new phase of transformation. From supply chain collaboration and shifting consumer behavior to channel restructuring, the industry is being reshaped on multiple fronts. Beyond products themselves, key questions are becoming increasingly important: What will drive future growth? Where will the next market opportunities emerge?

Each year, the International Pet Conference (IPC) brings together leading voices from across the global pet industry—including brands, retailers, industry associations, and international platforms—to exchange insights on market developments and emerging trends.

International Pet Conference 2026 will take place on October 13–14 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Under the theme “Pets, People, Progress – Developing the pet industry together,” this year’s conference will focus on collaboration, innovation, and growth, exploring some of the key forces shaping the future of the global pet business.

IPC 2026 Agenda Overview

(As of June 2026)

Global Industry Leaders and Platforms in Dialogue

This year’s conference is expected to welcome 200+ international participants and 20+ speakers, representing leading brands, retailers, industry organizations, and global platforms. Since its launch in 2005, IPC has evolved into more than just a conference—it has become a platform for meaningful dialogue and high-value industry connections.

One of the key highlights of this year’s conference will be the international roundtable discussion: “Global Pet Trade Shows: What’s Next?”

As global trade dynamics, sourcing strategies, and industry engagement continue to evolve, the role of trade shows is also being redefined. What was once primarily a space for product showcases and business meetings is increasingly expanding into buyer matchmaking, content exchange, and year-round engagement.

Representatives from major international platforms including Interzoo, Zoomark, and the China International Pet Show (CIPS) will join the discussion to explore topics such as the evolving value of international trade shows, high-quality buyer connections, online-offline integration, and future collaboration models.

As IPC’s exclusive partner for the Chinese market, CIPS will also share perspectives and practical insights from China’s pet industry.
