Maryland Expo

Speaker and Clinician Profiles – 2025

Please check back as we update…

The most important part of the World of Pets Expo is the educational aspect.  We take pride in giving back to the pet and animal community by creating a forum for experts in the pet field to speak and teach our attendees.

We hand select the best and most experienced pet and animal professionals in a variety of fields and specialties. From pet massage therapists, training and behavior specialists, animal lawyers, to veterinarians and animal surgeons, there is something to interest and educate everyone. We feel as though our speakers are a cornerstone of our event and they bring to the tables years of combined expertise and knowledge that only enhances the Pet Expo experience.
