At Animal Care Expo, we keep attendees busy with all the workshops, networking and fun we have scheduled. That means on our last day of Expo, Friday, April 18, it’s time to break out the coffee! Join us for breakfast, caffeine and good conversation at our coffee chats.

What is a coffee chat?

A coffee chat is a panel discussion on a particular topic led by a group of experts. The discussion is guided by questions from attendees. If attendees have any questions that arose from workshops they attended, or want to ask about something that wasn’t covered directly, that’s where the coffee chat comes in. Coffee chat topics for 2024 included:

Behavior
Cats
Field services
Fundamentals
Leadership
Shelter operations
Veterinary medicine

How can I be a part of the panel?

Applications to be a Coffee Chat panelist will open in Fall 2024. Check back for more details. If you have any questions, please email expo@humanesociety.org.
