REAL Talks by BlogPaws
Our first REAL Talks by BlogPaws event promises an evening filled with inspiration, education, and heartwarming moments for pet lovers.
Filmed in front of a live audience, each speaker will grace the stage with a story and a message to captivate the audience in one of the four REAL themes: Research, Education, Advice, or Love. From veterinarians wielding research to heartwarming storytellers, REAL Talks offer a vibrant platform for voices that shape the pet world.
In collaboration with our media partner, DOGTV, we’ll produce and distribute the videos of each speaker who graces the stage. The filming will include audience shots meaning you may be in a video that shared with hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
