“I don’t ever want to leave!” are words you probably wouldn’t expect to hear in a conference expo hall.
We were so thrilled to return to the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA, for this two-day event with over 5000 attendees. We have a long-term partnership with Gainsight and we were so grateful to provide them with another unforgettable Puppy Love experience now that their annual conference was back in person in the Bay Area.
People traveled to the conference from all over the world, some as far as New Zealand, England, or India! But breaking the ice and getting people to network each other is effortless when dogs are present. Attendees were inspired to share pictures of their pets back at home, talk about their personal involvement with supporting animal rescues, and brainstorm ideas on how they could make their own offices more supportive of mental health wellness.
Pulse attendees got to hang out with three fluffy dachshund puppies (Pecas, Charlie, and Lacy), a litter of seven chihuahua/terrier puppies (“The Seven Dwarves”), an energetic cattle dog (Vecna), and a sweet chihuahua momma with her two tiny babies (Minnie, Clarabelle, and Goofy.) All dogs were provided by Fosters and Paws, a local foster-based rescue based in Sacramento, CA. The puppies played fetch, got belly rubs, and posed for many, many selfies. Throughout the conference, participants bonded with their favorite pups and returned to our booth many times for more rounds of snuggles! The puppies at this conference were true cuddle bugs. We will never forget the infamous “Seven Dwarves Puppy Pile”—all seven siblings curled up and fell asleep on the same lucky human’s lap!
At Pulse 2022, three lucky puppies were adopted by Pulse attendees! We always partner with local pet rescues to bring in puppies that are currently in foster care. Our experiences are great not only for human wellness, but they also help the puppies learn how to play and socialize in a safe environment! We were so happy to create such a fun and rejuvenating space for those all who attended. We will never forget seeing all the smiles and hearing the “paws”itive feedback from those who stopped by our booth. Thank you to Gainsight Pulse 2022 for letting us bring the magic of Puppy Love to your conference!
