The International Puppy & Trainer Contest (IPTC) is meant to be the pinnacle of human-puppy play for the International Community. The contest, its’ producers, titleholders, and staff lead as an example of what it is to be of service to the puppy play community around the world.

​

We understand that one of the ways we can achieve our mission is to provide a world class event for our community to gather and celebrate with each other while we choose our next title holders. 2023 was our triumphant return after the pandemic with a completely new staff and leadership. We celebrate that our first event back was incredibly successful. We kept the first year back small and manageable while we got our feet under us. This year our goal is to expand the IPTC event weekend to include more opportunities outside of the main contest events for our community to come together, learn, play, and grow. That’s where we need your help. 

​

While our venue will be our primary and most significant cost we also must keep in mind that we have operating costs beyond that as well as a desire to ensure that each of our title holders have a significant travel fund to help them achieve IPTC’s mission and represent their titles without being limited by their personal financial situation. 

​

You can help us achieve our mission by becoming a sponsor for our 2024 event weekend taking place in Chicago IL April 4th - 7th at the Center on Halstead. We have several sponsorship levels so that you can help us support the community at whatever level makes the most sense for your business.
