Florida's ONLY
Pet Business Summit!
2026
August 13-15th, 2026 | Jacksonville, Florida
Florida Pet Services Association
FPSA is proud to be an official 501(c)3 non-profit on the mission of promoting professionalism, providing elite education and creating and connecting professional relationships in the pet industry in the state of Florida.
We saw a need for Florida based pet companies to become an association - to vibe off of each other, support each other, learn from each other + most importantly create a community of those who TRULY understand how cool + weird Florida weather, humans + pets needs can be!
While all are welcome, this association will focus on existing businesses that are experienced and do not necessarily need the building blocks, but rather those extra layers and customization to make you truly unique.
