  This educational conference brings together animal control officers, humane investigators, animal care staff, shelter managers/executive directors, veterinarians, veterinary technicians, rescue workers, and animal advocates from throughout the State of Tennessee and other areas of the Southeast for an opportunity to learn, network and discover new methods, tools, and services for improving their ability to help animals. 

  This is a great opportunity for sponsors to interact with key animal welfare decision makers from across the Southeast. The conference's growing annual attendance from new and returning attendees gives sponsors the chance to gain new clients and customers while supporting the ongoing training and education of the animal care and control profession. We expect around 150 attendees.
