About The Pet Summit

Leaders in Pet Industry Education

Since its founding in 2020, The Pet Summit has offered more than 150 educational classes, workshops, live panels, Q&A sessions, and more for a specific niche of individuals in the pet industry: pet influencers, social media managers, brand owners, and bloggers. Its goal is to help bring together these stakeholders to learn, inspire, network, raise awareness, and build a stronger community together.

In 2024, we will be expanding the Pet Summit to include targeted education, resources, and networking opportunities for business and industry leaders across all verticals of the pet industry. Starting with our first in-person event, The Pet Summit will be introducing an exclusive insights and analytics track to complement the business marketing and creator education tracks.

Part of American Pet Products Association

In late 2023, the American Pet Products Association (APPA) acquired The Pet Summit as a platform to enhance member benefits and diversify the association’s services.

“The Pet Summit represents every pet parent, business owner, rescue organization, influencer, blogger, or pet-related website that wants to grow their following, start a business, learn the dos and don’ts of partnerships, elevate their content for better engagement and more,” said APPA Chief Growth Officer Jeremy Baker. “We are extremely pleased to not only work more closely with these individuals and entities across the broader pet care community through this acquisition but to also extend new educational resources and networking opportunities to APPA members. We believe this acquisition is a seamless fit that will open the door to new audiences and prospects to drive success for both organizations as we continue to strive to expand APPA’s member services.”
