Numerous pet food and treat manufacturers' product development cycles revolve around the launch of new products at Interzoo. In 2008, new products were displayed by over half the eParaxhibitors. As a result, Interzoo's organizing committee has incorporated a "New Products Forum". Here eParaxhibitors will present their products and services to visitors in approximately 15-minute lectures.
Admission is limited to visitors from the pet supply/retail industry, veterinary medicine, official agencies and commercial users such as boarding kennels, grooming salons eParatc.
As of February 1, 2010, 21 Canadian companies are registered Interzoo 2010 eParaxhibitors. PIJAC Canada has eParastablished a Canadian pavilion with financial support from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Agri-Marketing program.
