At the Best Friends National Conference, you’ll learn the latest tools and data-driven techniques to take home and immediately start saving more dogs and cats in your community — everything you need to reach or sustain no-kill status in 2025. You will hear from presenters from different backgrounds and all types of organizations, including leaders in advocacy and community engagement, field and animal services, shelter medicine and animal care, fundraising and development, and more. Beyond the 90+ sessions to choose from, you’ll have access to the Hub to enjoy delicious food, mingle with exhibitors and sponsors, score some awesome conference swag, and shop for human and pet gear. You can also join us in the Well-Being Room and designated outdoor areas to treat yourself to plenty of outdoor activities, and you can attend our closing party with plenty of scrumptious food stations, drinks, music, and games. Plus, you’ll make meaningful connections with fellow animal welfare staff members and volunteers from across the country.
