    The Texas Animal Control Association is currently looking for speakers to teach at the 51st Annual Training conference November 9-12, 2025, in Abilene.  We are looking for people who would like to detail successful programs and/or provide training on topics that affect all of us in the animal welfare field.  We are particularly interested in new and exciting ideas that will directly benefit the day to day operations of the shelters and programs that our attendees represent.  

    If you or someone in your organization would like to present an idea that you think would make a great class, please submit it and a brief speaker’s bio no later than March 22, 2025.  If you have an idea for something that you think would benefit the attendees, but don’t necessarily want to teach it yourself, send your idea and we’ll work on finding a qualified instructor for that topic.  Class ideas do not have to necessarily be animal-related as any course that helps Animal Control Officers and animal welfare personnel communicate more efficiently, provide better customer service, or otherwise perform their duties at a higher level will be considered.

    Please feel free to forward this to anyone who may have an interest in speaking.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I appreciate all of your help in making TACA’s annual conference a success.

    Thank you,
    Jamey Cantrell
    President

    The Texas Animal Control Association (TACA) will hold its 51st Annual Conference in Abilene, TX, on November 9th thru the 12th at the Doubletree by Hilton Abilene Downtown Convention Center (click here to make reservations). TACA is the oldest state association in the United States and this is the most attended conference by city and county governments that have animal control/welfare departments and operate animal shelters in Texas. These government entities have annual budgets to operate these departments and are looking for vendors that have products and services that meet their needs.  We try to keep our sponsorship/exhibitor rates as reasonable as possible because we understand that come companies that have goods or services that can greatly benefit our attendees simply can’t afford thousands of dollars for nothing more than a small table in a crowded, expansive exhibit hall.  From now until March 31st, all sponsor and vendor packages are 20% off!  This makes attending TACA's Conference an even better value! Additionally, our conference prioritizes networking and social interaction outside of exhibit all hours.  This gives you the chance to spend more time with each registrant on a more personal level so that the advertising value to our sponsors and exhibitors is maximized.  For more information, please click here to download our sponsor/exhibitor packet.

    The faster the registration is completed and paid for, the sooner we can post your company as a sponsor/exhibitor for this year’s conference on our web site, mailer, and other promotional materials.  Space and sponsorships are limited so register as soon as possible to reserve your space at the conference and ensure you are able to sponsor at the level you would like. TACA looks forward to your participation as a sponsor/exhibitor at this year’s conference.

    You can get lost in the crowd of other conferences or you can come join us and really have the opportunity to interact with all of our attendees!  If you need  additional information or have any questions, please feel free to email Angel Linscott, our Exhibitor Committee Chairemail me, or call 832-629-5535
