We believe passionately in the power of the clicker training approach to enrich the lives of pet owners and animal professionals and the animals they live with, work with, and studyand we expect our partners to share this belief, too!

In 2024, we are offering two separate conference experiences with distinct content and formats. ClickerExpo Portland, April 5 - 7, 2024, is architected around how we learn by being together, in person. There’s nothing like being together and nothing like what we have planned for ClickerExpo 2024 in person!

We continue to receive rave reviews from ClickerExpo LIVE (virtual) attendees and are excited to bring it back again! Join us from anywhere and participate in this live, interactive, engaging, and one-of-a-kind virtual event on January 26 - 28, 2024.

With two separate experiences with distinct content and formats, the two ClickerExpo 2024 events will position our partners to reach a large global audience through ClickerExpo LIVE and provide in-person, in-depth engagement with your target customers at ClickerExpo Portland.
