At the Best Friends National Conference presented by Petco Love, you’ll learn how to make an impact in your community from presenters from different backgrounds and organization types, including leaders in animal welfare, marketing, DE&I, government relations, and more — and all while having fun!
Plus, you’ll make meaningful connections with fellow animal welfare volunteers and staff members from across the country.
Here’s a brief highlight of what we have lined up so far this year:
- How to Best Serve the Underserved: In this session, we’ll discuss how high-volume shelters can better cater to their communities’ needs, and by extension the animals’ needs. You’ll learn the best practices for implementing community-oriented programs at a high-volume organization.
- Taking Back Your Lifesaving Power – How to Deal With Backlash From the Media and Community: During this interactive session, shelters, rescue groups, and other organizations in attendance will discover the power of language, learn how to deal with backlash, and find out how to communicate effectively and be transparent.
- Turning “I Can’t” Into “Why Not?” – A Shelter’s Journey Toward Lifesaving: From high euthanasia rates to high save rates, this session speaks to rural, Southern shelters that are historically underfunded and understaffed and shows that, with a drive to save lives, anything is possible.
In addition to all the engaging sessions, when you register you’ll enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast and hot lunch each day of the conference, access to our app, a closing celebration party, access to the Hub to shop and mingle with exhibitors, and so much more.
If you register by June 9, the registration fee is only $295. There’s no need to enter a special code. The $100 discount will be taken off automatically when you register. Beginning June 10, the price increases to $395.
