AFIA Pet Food Conference 2027

The conference is at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The conference attracts more than 500 attendees.

The audience includes pet food and treat manufacturers, ingredient manufacturers, equipment suppliers, and students.

It is most useful for pet food and treat manufacturers, plus ingredient and equipment suppliers, since the program spans regulatory issues, production technique, product claims, marketing and nutrition, and it draws more than 500 people from that supply chain. Attendees outside pet food, such as livestock feed buyers, would find the content less relevant, while students can get an industry introduction because the program makes room for them.

Attendees at feed and pet food industry conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or blouses, with a blazer for speakers. A hotel-style convention center in Atlanta in January is often cool indoors, so a light layer helps.
