Welcome to our Shelter Industry Events Calendar! Here, you’ll find a variety of webinars, learning opportunities, online meetings, and national events focused on animal sheltering and related interests. While some events are hosted by the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program, most are organized by other groups and agencies. Please note that being listed here doesn’t mean we’ve reviewed the material.
We’re here to provide you with a range of resources to help make your life easier. For more details about any event, feel free to contact the organizer directly (you’ll find their info in the event description).

The Gathering is coming back this year in a big way! Join us in Philadelphia, the city of Brotherly and Sisterly LOVE, October 4-7th for an immersive conference uniting the biggest hearts and brightest minds for Human and Animal Well-Being.
This annual event will welcome attendees from various backgrounds, including Veterinary Students, Pet Business Owners, Animal Shelter Staff, Community Activists, Educators, and dedicated local Philly Advocates, all united by a shared mission to empower the BIPOC community in their journey of pet companionship.
CARE is building a thorough safety net to help support people and pets in underserved communities. We’re coming together to share resources, and amplify historically marginalized voices because it’s foundational to Human and Animal Well-being. And we cannot do it without you!
Because The Gathering is rooted in community wisdom, expect to hear from community leaders who know the struggle, beauty, and ingenuity of their beloved communities. But more importantly, they know what’s needed to make a long lasting impact.
The Gathering is a great opportunity to open your heart, deeply listen, learn, and become part of a conversation that leads to real sustainability.
