Stay Tuned for Registration Information

Cowboy Up for the 2025 AHP Equine Media Conference in Texas!

It’s time for AHP members to “cowboy up” in the Lone Star State for the 2025 AHP Equine Media Conference at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Dallas Near the Galleria May 15-17, 2025. Get ready for three days packed with educational sessions, exciting networking opportunities, and valuable industry insights. This is the perfect chance to connect with fellow equine media professionals, content creators, organizations, and businesses at a venue custom made for networking (and having a good time)!

With several major equine companies headquartered in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Texas is the heart of a vibrant equine culture, including rodeo, cutting horses, reining, and other western disciplines.  The rich backdrop of Texas’ equine heritage will set the stage for dynamic discussions, collaborations, and inspiration in the world of equine storytelling.

As always, our conference topics will continue to bring awareness of the diversity of equestrian enthusiasts, their sports, and their horses. As equine media professionals, we aim to explore and educate ourselves and our audiences with news and stories about the ever-evolving story of our relationship with the horse.

Make plans to join us! The conference committee is back in the saddle and pulling together a great program. Once again, we will be celebrating our annual Equine Media Awards (the EMAs) and will be hosting a Preakness watch party as part of our Saturday evening EMA Banquet, and other details will be posted as they are finalized. Registration is expected to open sometime in late February; it is open to AHP members only, so make sure your renew your AHP membership today!
