Why Exhibit at the Canine Expo & Symposium?

Exhibiting at the Canine Expo & Symposium (CES) places your brand at the center of one of the most innovative and mission-driven gatherings in the dog world. CES brings together veterinarians, breeders, trainers, groomers, rescues, nutrition experts, behaviorists, advocates, and dog owners—creating a rare and powerful opportunity to connect directly with the many communities that shape canine welfare and care. Whether your goal is brand visibility, product education, customer engagement, or professional networking, CES provides a highly targeted, high-impact environment where your offerings are seen by people who value quality, responsibility, and innovation.

Beyond visibility, exhibiting at CES means aligning your business with a movement that is actively raising the standard of canine care and strengthening the entire ecosystem of canine professions. As an exhibitor, you aren’t just showcasing products or services—you’re contributing to real change by supporting education, collaboration, and stewardship that ultimately improves outcomes for dogs and their communities. If your organization is committed to advancing the canine world, this is where you belong.
