The forum is April 12-14, with the workshop immediately following, April 14-15. The events are at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, Ill. Petfood Industry magazine said the return of these exclusive, premier events offers businesses a chance to grow globally. Leading industry experts and suppliers are among the featured guests. The forum will also feature keynote speaker Joel Silverman, dog trainer and host of Animal Planet’s “Good Dog U” and author of “What Color is Your Dog?” In addition, Packaged Facts’ David Lummis will present the Petfood Market Outlook 2010-2011.
