It’s our milestone 25th Anniversary Conference and Awards Banquet and we’re over the moon excited to announce the powerhouse speaker lineup we have assembled for our 3-day event! We have a combined total of 17 sessions, 24 speakers, and two very special guest cats! From interactive sessions on editing and graphics to informative sessions on self-publishing, traditional publishing, marketing and sales, podcasts, photography, writing for rescues, time management, social media, and more, there is something for communicators of all platforms audio, written, and visual.
To pack it all in, we’ll have bonus sessions beginning at 1:15 pm, Thursday, May 16, for those attendees who like to arrive early. The official conference kick-off will start Friday, 9:00 am, with Emerald Sponsor, Purina, hosting a panel discussion featuring Dr. Kurt Venator, Chief Veterinary Officer for Purina and Dr. Janet Jackson, V.P. and Director of Research for Purina.
