The AVA Summit events are organized by AVA International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a world in which animals are taken out of the food system and other human uses.

Fiscal sponsorship for AVA International is provided by the Humane America Animal Foundation. For more information about how we operate, please visit our Transparency Page or get in touch with us.
