It is being organised jointly by the specialist trade magazine PET in Europe, which is published by Dähne Verlag, and Management Forum.

The programme includes topics such as "Key trends and developments in the international pet market", "International retailing", "International alliances and partnerships", "The challenge of China", "Potential in the growth market of eastern Europe" and "Multichannel retailing". One of the highlights will be the awarding of the PET Retailer of the Year distinction. The award will be made to the most innovative international specialist retail concept.
