The Acatemy
returns!
October 12-13, 2024 | Cleveland, OH
How do we top the massive success of the iconic 2020 Acatemy? By teaming up with the Cat Fanciers Association's International Cat Show & Expo biggest and best cat welfare conference yet!
Once again, we'll be welcoming the country's most proactive and influential figures in boots-on-the-ground cat rescue (that's you!), empowering them to step up their life-saving game like never before.
You belong with the people who get you.
They say “it's all about the cats” but The Acatemy understands that nothing can be achieved without people like you behind the scenes. Our programming is designed to support individuals and their organizations by providing a space for networking, education, personal and professional growth, community building, skill development, and fostering brand connections that advance the cause while becoming the best version of yourself. The two-day conference includes:
-
8 rooms of advanced and masterclass content from dozens of your rescue peers and industry leaders.
-
Activity spaces, specialized meetups, structured breakout sessions, interactive experiences, and more to help build your life-saving network.
-
Face time & opportunities to build relationships with event sponsors and industry professionals.

OUr mission
Acatemy programming focuses on empowerment of boots-on-the-ground cat hustlers to do more by focusing exclusively on action items, building the social network to expand life-saving capabilities, and facilitating occasions to celebrate their purpose with like-minded people.
We believe in perpetuating change through compassion at grassroots level. By fostering an individual's skills and sense of purpose while proactively fostering a tribal mentality, their success becomes contagious.
While the past eight years of Cat Hustler events have earned us a reputation for innovative, original content, sold-out venues, and taste-making features, none of it is possible without you, the living soul of these gatherings. Thank you for your continued support and participation; the best is yet to come.
