Summit Countdown

January 21-24, 2025 | Kansas City, Missouri

Check out the latest Summit news and updates below.

The editorial and production teams at American Farriers Journal are currently working on both the January/February issue and the official Show Program for the 2025 International Hoof-Care Summit. This Show Program will be included within the January/February issue that will be distributed to all Summit attendees, serving as a key reference throughout the event.

Attendees rely on the Show Program to plan their Trade Show visits. As an exhibitor, you have the opportunity to enhance your ad's visibility and attract more traffic to your booth by adding a special "See us at the International Hoof-Care Summit" banner, along with your booth number. There's no better opportunity to be present and reinforce your marketing message at a time when attendees' are 100% focused on products to elevate their footcare practice.

The advertising reservation deadline for American Farriers Journal’s Jan./Feb. issue is coming up fast, next Friday 11/22. I want to make sure that you don't miss this first opportunity for your 2025 media planning, especially with the extended reach of this issue getting put in the hands of 2025 Summit Attendees.

Please let me know if you would like more information on advertising.
