The 25th Annual Prairie States Animal Welfare Conference was a tremendous success, and we extend our sincere thanks to everyone who helped make this milestone event possible.

For 25 years, the conference has brought together animal welfare professionals, veterinarians, shelter staff, rescue organizations, volunteers, advocates, and community leaders dedicated to improving the lives of animals. This year's event continued that tradition by fostering education, collaboration, and innovation across the animal welfare community.

Thank You to Our Speakers, Sponsors, and Committee

A special thank you goes to our presenters, sponsors, and planning committee members. Your expertise, generosity, and hard work helped create an engaging and meaningful experience for all attendees. Your contributions continue to advance the field of animal welfare and inspire positive change across our communities.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate this 25-year milestone, we are reminded that our greatest accomplishments are achieved when we work together. Thank you to everyone that joined us for this special anniversary conference and for the important work you do every day on behalf of animals.

We look forward to seeing you again next year, June 6-8, 2027!
