International trends and developments in sustainability will be in the spotlight at the Interzoo Sustainability Conference to be held in Nuremberg, Germany, on May 11, the day before the trade show opens.
Expert researchers, industry pioneers and the UN representative Elliott Harris will explain key trends and advances in sustainability, drawing on recent studies and best practice examples. Additionally, the conference will present the inaugural Sustainability Award, which recognizes forward-thinking ecological, social and economic initiatives.
Dr Rowena Arzt, head of exhibitions at Interzoo organiser WZF, said: “With the new conference and Interzoo Sustainability Award, we are devoting even more attention to sustainability within the framework of the eventful week at Interzoo.
“By doing so, we aim to inspire support the pet industry to continue to work on sustainable solutions and business cases.”
On the same day, Petfood Forum Europe will bring together professionals from across the pet food supply chain for a focused, one-day conference dedicated to pet food and treat technology and innovation, nutrition, ingredients, processing, safety and market trends.
The participation fee for each event includes coffee breaks, lunch, a joint networking reception, a multi-day ticket for Interzoo, and a public transportation ticket.
Interzoo 2026 will take place May 12–15 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre, Germany.
