Exhibition Centre Nuremberg, Germany
Co-located with Interzoo 2026
Live demonstrations, exciting business insights, and valuable networking
For the first time, Interzoo is dedicating an entire day to professional pet grooming, creating an exclusive meeting point for the international grooming community with Groomers’ Day 2026. Live demonstrations with expert tips, networking opportunities, and new impulses for daily practice make this one-day event a special experience for all grooming professionals.
Groomers’ Day is aimed at groomers and professionals in the pet care sector who want to discover new techniques, trends, and products related to modern pet grooming.
The day will be accompanied by Kitty Dekeersgieter, founder and co-organizer of the internationally renowned grooming event “Groomania”, held annually in Belgium.
Her passion for dogs, extensive expertise, and commitment to the pet care industry make Kitty an invaluable supporter of Groomers’ Day.
The event will be moderated by Sophie Ciciliani, Education and Training Coordinator at ZZF – German Pet Trade & Industry Association, and Jennifer Welzel, Deputy Chair of the ZZF Membership Group Pet Grooming Salons.
Interzoo Groomers’ Day is an important step forward for the global grooming community. For the first time, professional groomers, brands, and distributors from all over the world will have one shared space to connect, learn, and exchange ideas. Interzoo offers a rare opportunity to bring grooming education and innovation into the spotlight, in an environment that values sustainability, ergonomics, and animal well-being. I believe that creating a dedicated area where professionals can discover, rest, and learn in comfort will make the experience more meaningful and inspiring for everyone involved.
Look forward to a day full of expertise, innovation, and connections, designed specifically for the international grooming community.
