Asia, as one of the world's fastest-growing markets for pet consumption, is integrating into the global pet retail landscape with an open posture. The GPRF Global Pet Retail Conference emerges to foster an industry hub connecting East and West. Guided by the core concept of "Intelligently Connecting the Globe, Boundless Love for Pets," it aims to promote resource sharing and collaborative value creation.
Organized by the PSC Pet Sourcing Fair and the Decathlon Forum, under the guidance of the China Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Association, the conference will be held grandly in Guangzhou this November. It is expected to attract brand owners, retailers, supply chain experts, and investors from over a hundred countries and regions worldwide to discuss industry trends, exchange market experiences, and explore cooperation opportunities.
Focusing on Trend Analysis, Cross-Border Dialogue, Business Linkage, and Capital Empowerment, the conference will build an open, pragmatic, and win-win international exchange platform. It is not just a stage for exhibition and cooperation but also a new starting point propelling the pet retail industry towards globalization and intelligence.
Let the world see China, and let China connect with the world. We look forward to joining hands with you to inaugurate a new Asian era for the pet retail industry.
