SuperZoo Trade Show Returns to Vegas After 1-Year Hiatus

In 1950, pet supply manufacturers and wholesalers met for the first Animal Crackers Inc. trade show put on by the World Pet Association (WPA). Fast forward 70 years and the show is still thriving, but has had some location and name changes. Most notable was in 2000, on the show’s 50th anniversary, when the name was changed to SuperZoo. It wasn’t until 2004, however, that the show was moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in order to draw more national and international attendees. Though there have been changes to the show over the years, one thing remains the same: SuperZoo is a place for the pet industry to gather to connect, learn and do business.

Last year, the COVID-19 pandemic forced trade shows to rethink how people could meet, but without compromising safety; the solution was a virtual show. Luckily as the world returns to normalcy, this year’s show will be held in-person at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, August 17 to 19, with education sessions beginning August 16.
