AIAM, G2Z and AMRRIC invite you to participate in the Big Hairy People and Pets Summit & Workshops on the Gold Coast from 10 - 14 October 2023.
The theme for this year’s conference is Breaking Down Barriers.

In 2023, the focus will be on the programs, practices and strategies that involve and engage the community in managing their pets. We will be looking at the role that organisations play in providing support to both companion animals and the people who care for them.
