BarkWorld Expo is the national pet social media conference, established in 2009. The conference covers social media, lifestyle, and technology as it applies to pet owners and pet businesses. Pets are welcome, but they must be leashed outside the off leash play areas, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and cannot enter the restaurants. There is doggy daycare available.
Of the BarkWorld attendees, it is estimated that:
- 78% have a profile for a pet on social media
- 85% have a presence on Twitter/ Facebook
- 48% are bloggers
Most of the visitors come from the continental US, but other areas represented include Canada, Israel, Trinidad, and the United Kingdom.
Amongst the speakers this year are celebrities such as Victoria Stilwell, and the program is crammed full with everything from dog treat cooking to ways to generate press for a blog.
PlexiDors will be at booth 3 in the exhibit hall, which opens at 8:30 on Friday and Saturday. Visitors will be able to see and try the dog doors, and receive information on how a PlexiDor pet door can make life easier for people as well as pets.
The conference takes place at the Westin Buckhead hotel in Atlanta.
