What an incredible & memorable Interzoo 2026 edition for EPO!

Over the course of an inspiring week in Nuremberg, EPO was proud to contribute to and participate in a series of important discussions and events helping shape the future of the pet sector in Europe and beyond.

Some key EPO contributions included:

 • the Interzoo Sustainability Conference on Monday May 11th

 • the Europe Academy session on May 12th

 • the International Pet Advisory Council (IPAC) meeting on May 13th

 • the EPO AGM and EPO Seminar 2026 on May 14th

 • the “Meet the Experts” session on May 14th

Beyond the official programme, the week was filled with many constructive meetings with current and potential new members, valuable exchanges with stakeholders, and moments of genuine collaboration across our sector.

And of course, there was also time to celebrate together during the wonderful Tropical Night on May 14th 🌴

A special thank you to the organisers, Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft Zoologischer Fachbetriebe GmbH (WZF) and ZZF – Zentralverband der Heimtierbranche e.V., for delivering such an outstanding Interzoo edition.

This week once again demonstrated the strength, commitment, and importance of the pet sector — both in Europe and globally — and highlighted the unique value of bringing together EPO members, partners, and stakeholders.

Looking forward to continuing the collaboration and building on the momentum created during this exceptional week.
