INFLUENCER REGISTRATION
Apply for an Influencer Badge for Global Pet Expo
Influencer credentials are available for qualified social media influencers. To apply, you must complete an influencer registration application and submit the required documentation. Application approval is based on the qualifications and documentation as outlined below. All influencer registration applications are subject to approval by Global Pet Expo Show Management.
We highly encourage influencers to apply for credentials by March 15 before traveling to the show. Anyone who arrives on-site without advance registration and/or the required influencer qualifications and documentation for registration should know that show accreditation/registration (and, therefore, entry onto the show floor) is not guaranteed.
Please note: Global Pet Expo is a professional trade show and is not open to the public. Influencers attending the show must be operating in a business capacity focused on partnership building, meeting with brands, creating content and networking with pet industry professionals.
