Last year
More than 1,300 people came together in Las Vegas for an inspirational conference on saving the lives of homeless animals. And what happened in Vegas didn’t stay there! Attendees returned home with renewed passion, new ideas, new contacts, and proven ways to help save animals in their communities.
This year
You can be there. Don’t miss out on the best conference yet, with new and back-by-popular-demand speakers, critical topics, and rich opportunities to meet and connect with like-minded people.
Brand new format
The 2012 conference will begin on Thursday afternoon and end on Saturday, with optional workshops on Sunday that are free with conference registration. These intensive Sunday sessions will focus on how to address the problem of puppy mills, generate grassroots advocacy for community cats, stop breed discrimination, and implement innovative ways to improve animal behavior. So you’ll enjoy an even more in-depth learning experience. Plus, optional pre- and post-conference visits to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, a safe haven for 1,700 animals in the majestic red rock canyons near Kanab, Utah, will be offered once again. Register today to guarantee your spot and take advantage of our early bird rate!
