"Interzoo 2026 will once again offer its visitors an attractive program that will provide versatile opportunities to make valuable industry contacts and learn more about current industry trends. With Silvia Dabankah and Lauren Zuber, we have now been able to gain two additional industry professionals for the preparation and realisation of the supporting program and other services," says Dr Rowena Arzt, Head of Trade Fairs at Interzoo organizer WZF – Pet Industry Services (Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft Zoologischer Fachbetriebe GmbH)
Since January 2025, Silvia Dabankah is in charge of international projects such as the Interzoo Pavilion at the Petfood Forum in Kansas City, Missouri (April 28 to 30, 2025) and the business initiation trip for German companies to Bangkok, Thailand, in May 2025. For Interzoo 2026, she is managing the Fresh Ideas Stage, the start-up platform for new business ideas.
The supporting program at Interzoo 2026, such as the Academy Sessions with short conferences on trends and developments in the pet industry, is operationally supported by Lauren Zuber since February 2025. Zuber, who has focused her career on event management since 2018, is also responsible for the ongoing development of the Interzoo App and supporting the online platform Interzoo Academy in between Interzoo editions.
