The show eventually outgrew its Des Plaines venue and moved to the Hyatt in Rosemont, Illinois, right next to O\u2019Hare International Airport. Still growing, the show then relocated to Schaumburg, Illinois, where it remained for several years. But by 2014, Petfood Forum had outgrown its space yet again. The 2015 show debuted at its new and current home, the Kansas City Convention Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe move to Kansas City doubled our attendance in 2015 and allowed many in the industry to actually drive to the event and get there much more easily,\u201d said Akins. \u201cPetfood Forum has grown as the industry has grown (largely due to humanization of pets as family members) \u2014 consumer desire to spend more on their companion animals which are now treated as more of a family member, as well as the number of new food and treat products introduced every year, has continued to grow, answering consumer demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Petfood Forum is the premier global conference and exhibition focused on technologies utilized in the processing of pet foods and pet treats.
