THe 2026 PNW Animal Welfare conference was a success!
We were thrilled to welcome more than 150 animal welfare professionals from across the Pacific Northwest for two days of learning, collaboration, and connection. With 16 engaging breakout sessions, two inspiring keynote speakers, and 20 exhibitors showcasing products, services, and resources, the conference was filled with valuable conversations and opportunities to connect with others in the field.
And, of course, we couldn't forget the fun! Our Mardi Gras themed networking banquet brought everyone together for an evening of celebration, complete with a DJ, costume contest, and plenty of beads and festive spirit!
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, presented, exhibited, sponsored, and helped make this year's conference such a memorable experience. Your enthusiasm and commitment to animal welfare are what make this community so special.
But we're not stopping here! Plans are already underway for the 2027 PNW Animal Welfare Conference, and we can't wait to bring everyone together again. Start getting excited now. We have more learning, networking, and fun in store!
