Animal Care Expo 2026 is the annual conference and training event hosted by Humane Pro, drawing between 2,000 and 5,000 animal welfare and sheltering professionals each year. The focus is practical: attendees come for certification programs, hands-on workshops, and continuing education credits relevant to shelter medicine, animal handling, and humane organization management. The 2026 event runs April 7 through April 10 in Pittsburgh, PA. Ticket pricing falls in the mid-range, making it accessible for staff-level attendance without requiring a large travel budget.
