The PIN Growth Summit

Returns for Year Three

June 1–2, 2026 | Virtual | 12–4pm ET

The pet industry doesn't stand still, and neither should your strategy.

PIN Growth Summit 2026 is the only virtual growth event built exclusively for established pet business owners and leaders. No generic frameworks. No advice adapted from other industries. Two focused days of expert-led sessions, niche-specific breakouts, and real implementation support, created by and for the people running pet businesses right now.

This is the third annual Summit produced by the Pet Industry Network, and it's where pet industry operators come to get clear on what's next.

Pet Industry Network Growth Summit scheduled for June 1-2, 2026, with a speech bubble design.

What to Expect

Day One — June 1 | Education Day Keynote, lightning rounds, and breakout panels organized by niche — retail, services, brands, e-commerce, and more. Every session is built around the real challenges established pet businesses are navigating in 2026.

Day Two — June 2 | Implementation Day The focus shifts from learning to doing. Day Two is designed to help you take what you heard on Day One and turn it into a concrete plan of action.
