Animal Summit

  • October 27-28, 2026

  • 8:00 AM PST

  • Animals are an important part of our lives; they contribute to our survival, health, future, and planet. When animals disappear, ecosystems collapse. When ecosystems collapse, humanity follows.

  • GatherVerse Animal Summit is a global virtual gathering where people from every corner of the world can join live with their pets on screen, sharing stories and experiences that remind us how animals bring connection and care into our daily lives. Pets are companions and they are mirrors of our humanity, reducing stress, supporting mental health, and teaching empathy across generations.

  • Emerging technologies are changing how we understand and care for animals: from AI-powered wildlife tracking to smart veterinary diagnostics and wearable health devices for pets. This summit brings together veterinarians, advocates, pet owners, educators, and technologists to address urgent questions about extinction, welfare, and coexistence with collective action.

GatherVerse Animal Summit

Technology Meets the Animal Kingdom

Emerging technologies are opening new frontiers in how we understand and protect animals and how animals enrich our lives.

  • Artificial Intelligence is being used to identify species from camera trap images, predict poaching activity, monitor animal health in real time, and analyze ecosystem changes at a scale never before possible.

  • Extended Reality (XR) is bringing conservation to classrooms and living rooms: immersing people in vanishing habitats and creating empathy for species they may never encounter in person.

  • Wearable and smart devices are transforming pet care, giving owners real-time insights into their pet’s health, activity, and emotional states.

  • Biotechnology and genomics are offering new tools for species preservation, disease prevention in animals, and understanding the deep biological links between animal and human health.

  • Data and connectivity are enabling global collaboration between researchers, governments, and communities to respond faster to threats facing wildlife and domestic animals alike.

Why Animal Summit

The pets we love are our most intimate connection to a natural world that is disappearing faster than we acknowledge.

Species that have existed for millions of years are disappearing within decades of human activity.

When we lose animals, we lose the systems that sustain us: our food, our water, our air, our medicine, and the daily companionship that makes life richer.

There is no version of a healthy human future that does not include a healthy animal kingdom.

Who will attend

  • This summit welcomes veterinarians and animal health professionals, conservation leaders and wildlife advocates, pet owners and animal lovers from around the world, educators and researchers, technologists and innovators, policy leaders and, health and wellness professionals, and non-profit and communities, all united by a shared commitment to the future of animals and humanity.

  • Every species lost is a thread pulled from the fabric of life we all depend on. Every conversation started, every policy guided, and every innovation built brings us closer to a world where animals and humans flourish together.

  • The future of humanity is inseparable from the future of animals. And that future is being built right now by the choices we make, the technologies we build, and the voices we choose to amplify.
