Our Speakers
About Amy: Amy is the CEO of DOGTOPIA, Inc. She is an avid dog lover with a keen business sense. Amy founded Doptopia in 2002 when she opened her first location in Tysons Corner, VA. It was the first dogcare business in Fairfax County and Amy predicted that busy professionals, facing long commutes and hours away from their homes, were in great need of an alternative to leaving their beloved dog at home alone all day. In 2004, Dogtopia of Tysons Corner grossed more than $1 million and Amy knew there was potential. In 2005 she franchised the concept nationally, and to date there are 23 Dogtopia locations across the country. Want to know more? You have to attend the seminar......
Amy has been featured on the CBS Early Show, CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Smart CEO Magazine and more. Dogtopia has been included on the INC5000 list of the fastest growing companies in America for three consecutive years.
