Horse racing regulators and harness racing industry leaders gather each year at the annual ARCI Racing Integrity and Animal Welfare conference to discuss and coordinate ways to ensure animal welfare and integrity in sport. It is the largest and most important conference of its kind in North America.
The 2024 conference will be held in Columbus, Ohio at the Hilton Downtown Columbus.
