We are only 59 days away from this year’s FLOW Business Conference! The planning committee has been working hard to bring you even MORE this year, like an on-site evening Networking event that will let you sample tasty treats from around the world, an off-site Networking event held at TopGolf, the Meet & Greet to kick off conference, and prize giveaways from many of our Vendors and Sponsors. That’s all in ADDITION TO the 60+ hours of professional business education available to help you grow and maintain your business, much of which is both RACE and PACCC approved for CEU credits. Early pricing has been extended through the end of July, and IBPSA members who register 4 or more people will receive an additional $50 off per person. Please visit petcareconference.com today – we look forward to seeing you there!

And don’t forget about Pre-Conference! In addition to everything mentioned above, there are also 4 more educational opportunities available on September 20 and 21, before conference even starts! This includes Pet CPR & First Aid, Heroes for Healthy Pets, Pricing for Profit, and a Design/Build/Maintain class in which many of the industry’s top vendors and experts will guide you through the process of developing and maintaining your facility. You can register for these Pre-Conference options at petcareconference.com.
