What is the AHP Equine Media Conference?
AHP has held an annual conference for its members since the early 70s. The three-day equine media event is jam-packed with educational sessions, special events, and the AHP Equine Media Awards announcement.
Sessions cover journalism, visual media, revenue building, marketing, professional development, and more. The conference is the number one place in the equine industry to network with equine media professionals and AHP members.
Who attends?
The AHP Equine Media Conference is a members-only event. Attendees include equine media professionals, publishers, equine-related businesses and organizations, and students pursuing a career in equine media.
The conference is an opportunity to connect with professionals in the equine media industry in both a casual and professional environment. Not only do members have a chance to renew relationships, but they also exchange fresh ideas and make key contacts.
