Pet suppliers and pet retailers take notice! The SuperZoo pet convention will be in Las Vegas September 13th through the 15th at Mandalay Bay Convention Center. This is the retail pet industry event of the year. Educational and networking opportunities, new products, and emerging trends are all at this “super” tradeshow event.

Las Vegas is host to thousands of tradeshows and conventions each year. It should go without saying that one of the biggest industries in the United States would be here. Enter SuperZoo!

The American Pet Products Association states that in the year 2010 $48.35 billion (that’s with a B) was spent on pets in the United States.  That alone should tell you why it is estimated that 9,000 pet loving people will be attending this Las Vegas convention.

The World Pet Association (WPA®) organizes SuperZoo, the National Show for Pet Retailers. SuperZoo brings together an all-inclusive collection of tradeshow exhibits and educational events unmatched in the industry.
