Great Lakes Animal Welfare Conference

GREAT LAKES ANIMAL WELFARE CONFERENCE

Don’t miss the 2018 Great Lakes Animal Welfare Conference, October 22-23, presented by the Michigan Humane Society!

The region’s largest annual animal welfare training and networking event takes place in one central location – the enchanting FireKeepers Casino Hotel in Battle Creek, Michigan.

For two days, conference attendees are immersed in sessions, events, and the latest research, theories and program applications. Participants include frontline caregivers, animal fosters, veterinarians, board members, volunteers and more looking to learn and connect with colleagues from across the region.
