Zoomark will return to BolognaFiere in Bologna, Italy, May 11-13, 2027, for its 22nd edition, organizers announced, with preparations already underway for the show, which draws manufacturers, distributors, buyers and supply chain professionals from across the global pet food and pet care market.
The upcoming edition will retain formats from the previous show while adding new themes and features, with a continued focus on pet wellbeing.
"Over the years, Zoomark has evolved far beyond the traditional concept of a trade fair, becoming a hub where innovation, market insights and international networking converge," said Pascale Sonvico, show office and sales manager of Zoomark.
"The upcoming edition aims to continue this trajectory, combining continuity with fresh ideas and initiatives designed to create new opportunities for both exhibitors and visitors," added Sonvico. "Our strategy is strongly driven by the analysis of the key trends shaping the pet market, with the aim of anticipating industry developments and opening new avenues for growth for professionals across the sector."
