Building new, renovating, or expanding? Don’t know where to start and have lots of questions? Then you don’t want to miss Pet Boarding & Daycare Expo West 2017!
Our new extended design program has so much to offer anyone who is “taking the plunge” of branching out on their own. A whole additional day of education is being offered to cover every aspect of this tedious, and likely stressful process. Get all of your questions answered by industry experts and come away from the expo with a game plan to get your dream up and running!
The program begins with seminars on buying vs. leasing, funding, and current design trends. The next two days are filled with more industry expert speakers covering the design and building process; everything from selecting contractors to the finishing touches. The last day will finish up with three seminars on cleaning, maintenance, and disease control so you can get the most life out of your brand new facility.
Do you already own and operate a successful facility? Or maybe you’re an employee wanting to learn more about the industry and improve your skills? There’s still plenty to learn for any pet professional. Some topics include customer service, marketing, employee training, dog behavior and health, daycare activities, and First Aid & CPR certification, just to name a few.
An inspiring and entertaining keynote address will be given by multi-facility owner and Dog Daycare Consultant, Amanda Crook on the opening night of the expo. Following the Keynote Address will be a fun and relaxing meet & greet party, hosted by the guys of K–9 Resorts Daycare and Luxury Hotel.
Be sure to sign up for the Round Table Luncheons held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday which will give you a chance to swap stories and ideas with some of your industry peers.
Wednesday night will feature a Luau Party—free to all attendees—hosted by Health Technologies Professional Products. Food, drinks, tiki bar, music & entertainment, t–shirt giveaways—you won’t want to miss out on this!
We rearranged our Wednesday class schedule to allow for more trade show time! Two hour classes in the morning and then two hour classes in the evening frees up six whole hours to get the most out of the trade show. The trade show will also be open all day Thursday so you’ll have plenty of chances to visit all of your favorite vendors, including many new ones with products and services you never knew you needed!
With all of the new and exciting seminars and fun events, it will be well worth it for anyone in the boarding or daycare industry to attend this year’s west coast expo!
