ORLANDO, Fla. and LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As pets become full-fledged family members with budgets to match, they are reshaping the concept of family and integrating into every aspect of our lives. Defining the future of animal health and pet care across the next decade and beyond, and how it is supported and funded, is the focus of the inaugural Compass event presented by global veterinary industry leader, the North American Veterinary Community (NAVC), and leading animal welfare organization, the Michelson Found Animals Foundation (MFA), April 10-11, 2025 at the Gaylord National Harbor. Registration opens today for this first-of-its-kind event which brings together leaders, investors, visionaries, and inventors from across global animal health and pet care to chart a rewarding and healthy future for animals and their relationships with people. Visionaries from other industries outside of the animal universe will also be in attendance spurring new ideas and opportunities.

“The $300 billion global animal health and pet care industry is brimming with opportunity for pets to become an even greater part of people’s lives, for investors to fund new innovations that enhance animal wellbeing, the evolution of animal-centric cities, homes and environments, and so much more,” said NAVC CEO Gene O’Neill. “The next decade and beyond are full of promise and Compass brings together innovators and leaders from every aspect of the global animal health and pet care ecosphere to pave the way for an exciting future and seek solutions to potential speed bumps before they get in the way.”
