One of the featured topics at this years conference was The Destination Business, presented by special guest instructor Jon Schallert of the Schallert Group. Schallert walked attendees through his 14-step strategy to transform businesses from a store to an experience. To look at the audience and see a room completely full was outstanding, commented Debra Spaulding, World Pet Association (WPA) conference coordinator. Its our main priority to provide attendees with top-notch education that will help them improve their retail businesses in meaningful, measurable ways. This year we accomplished just that.
The Groomer SuperShow was also creating buzz with new grooming products in Groomers Court, expert training in the seminar program and a series of international grooming competitions, which adorned the show floor with masterfully groomed dogs. The winners were announced and awarded trophies, plaques and more than $ 45,000 in prize money.

Vice President for Petco Animal Supplies, Executive Director for the Petco Foundation and co-founder of PAWS LA, Jolly has devoted his life to saving and enhancing the lives of companion animals.
