“K-State has been hosting this hallmark event for the past few years, and 2024 will provide a terrific and compelling agenda for the industry and university supporters,” said Dr. Julia Guazzelli Pezzali, K-State assistant professor and Pet Food Program director. The conference agenda will include talks from industry experts, new research presentations by faculty and graduate students, inspiring keynote speakers, brainstorming, insightful panel discussion sessions and many networking opportunities with industry partners and friends.
“KibbleCon is a forum where those dedicated to the pet food industry come together to share thoughts, discuss challenges and develop relationships to solve common issues facing the industry,” said Dr. Kathy Gross, K-State adjunct professor and retired worldwide director at Hill’s Pet Nutrition.
Last November, more than 115 pet food industry representatives from 18 states and countries as far away as Brazil attended KibbleCon Lite 2023 in Manhattan, Kansas.
“The K-State Pet Food Program features a diverse and cross-disciplinary team of experts committed to working with the pet food industry to drive innovation and address complex interdisciplinary problems," said Pezzali. "Hosting KibbleCon is another initiative where we unite academia and industry to support this mission and help drive the sustainable growth of this dynamic industry."
KibbleCon is designed for those involved with the pet food industry or interested in deepening their knowledge and understanding. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Check out the event itinerary, plan your trip and register online beginning July 8 here.
