Attendee Services Manager 

Over the past decade, Annie Rotberg’s name has become synonymous with Global Pet Expo buyer qualification and registration. Her high standards and impeccable work ethic ensure year after year that attendees at The Show are only those that exhibitors really want to get their products in front of, and those that meet the requirements to qualify to attend. Global Pet Expo has become the industry’s premier event because of efforts from key staff members like Annie.

As Attendee Services Manager, Annie works closely with APPA’s marketing staff to create collateral for buyers that not only entice them to attend Global Pet Expo, but ones that can enhance their on-site experience as well. From buyer outreach to informative webinars, Annie is committed to increasing attendance and making sure that every attendee makes the most of their time at the Show.

 When you get the opportunity to meet Annie, you will be struck by her beaming smile and readiness to get the job done, whatever it might be. But don’t be fooled by Annie’s petite stature – she is a force, and a great one at that!

The past 10 years have brought significant changes to the association; a new name, a 50 year celebration, the 50th Trade Show, a new president and a significant increase in membership in excess of 1,000 strong! Annie has played an integral role in reaching these significant milestones with her unwavering commitment to “getting it right” and paying attention to all the details whether small or large. 

Prior to joining APPA, Annie worked in licensing, promotional sales and owned a corporate relocation consulting business. 

Annie is a graduate of Pennsylvania State University and is a proud supporter of Penn State football! She is a member of the International Association of Exhibitions and Events, and lives in White Plains, NY with her husband of 28 years, Marty. Annie has two children, Adam and Alissa, and enjoys tennis, working out and spending time with family and friends (especially on Cape Cod).
