Wiesbaden – Interzoo continues to be a unique source of inspiration for the international pet industry by offering a concise overview of markets, trends and innovations in its versatile supporting programme. The 2024 edition of the world's leading trade fair for the pet industry provides insights into current topics of the pet supplies industry as well as developments in specific markets.

Interzoo 2024 presents the world's most comprehensive range of pet supplies in 14 exhibition halls. In addition, the Interzoo supporting programme offers short conferences, special shows and demonstrations on current topics and developments within the pet industry.

One day prior to the opening of the exhibition halls, Petfood Forum Europe will be the starting point for a week full of interesting events covering key topics of the global pet supplies industry. The conference organised by WATT Global Media for the second time in cooperation with Interzoo takes place on 6 May 2024 and focuses on the latest developments in pet food for cats and dogs as well as technological innovations in manufacturing and packaging. It is necessary to register for the Petfood Forum Europe directly via the organiser's website. The conference ticket includes access to Interzoo 2024 on all four days of the trade fair.

On 7 May 2024, the first official day of Interzoo 2024, the supporting programme focuses on sustainability. At that day, the Interzoo Sustainability Session will present the results of the Interzoo Sustainability Study 2024. By help of recent data, experts will explain the current developments and challenges related to the topic of sustainability in the pet supplies industry and show ways to enhance sustainable development. Best practice examples will serve as illustrations and provide the basis for an in-depth discussion.

The Interzoo Country Sessions highlight and discuss the most exciting and important developments in the various geographic pet supplies markets. At Interzoo 2024, industry experts will present market data, trends and import regulations for countries and regions such as Brazil, Europe, Southeast Asia and the US in short conferences. Following the presentations, there will be time for discussion and networking.

Participation in the Sustainability Session and the Country Sessions is free of charge for visitors to Interzoo 2024. The presentations will be held in English. All sessions will take place in NCC East, hall St. Petersburg.

In addition to the Interzoo Sessions, the supporting programme offers many other exciting presentations and networking formats for the pet industry. The stand of Interzoo’s honorary sponsor ZZF, for example, will offer multiple presentations, including dog grooming demonstrations.

In hall 3 the Fresh Ideas Stage provides a special presentation platform for new business ideas in the pet sector. On the stage, start-ups and innovators will present forward-looking industry topics and products, concentrating on the four major topics of food, accessories, tech and sustainability. A total of over 30 presentation slots on all four days of the trade fair will make the Fresh Ideas Area a vibrant hub for new ideas and innovative discussion. Next door to the stage, the international Start-up Pavilion and the Young Innovators Pavilion with a combined total of more than 50 companies will give a sneak peek into the future of the industry. On top of that, the Product Showcase in Entrance Mitte will also present new and innovative products.

Further networking opportunities will be provided by exhibitor events and the official Interzoo Party. Guests at the Interzoo Party on 9 May 2024 can already look forward to an unforgettable evening that focuses on the specialities and characteristics of Bavaria.
