Two rode off on scooters, the third sent a drone after them. How the Pet Food Congress’s most active participants wrapped up the points challenge at Expo Kielce

23 October 2026
Knowledge, energy and a dash of strategy: for two days, delegates at the 2nd Professional Pet Food Congress in Kielce collected points for attending presentations, visiting partners and taking part in the event app. The ten most active took home prizes, and just 585 points separated the winner from the runner-up.

Małgorzata Chłopek topped the table with 26,735 points. Dominika Tutaj came second with 26,150 and Justyna Hinz third with 25,732.

The top two each won an electric scooter, while third place earned a drone that automatically follows its user. Everyone in the top ten received a prize.

 

Posting on the wall wasn’t enough

The main aim of the challenge was to encourage delegates to make the most of the Congress programme. The biggest points came from attending presentations and visiting partners at their stands.

Activity in the app (posting, commenting and reacting on the Congress wall) also earned points, but far fewer.

‘You score the most points by attending presentations or visiting partners at their stands,’ explains Marek Bielski, the Congress organiser.

The idea, he stressed, was to get people genuinely engaging with the expertise on offer, the meetings and the chance to connect with the event’s partners.

 

A late dash for points

The top three spent much of the Congress together, but the ranking was individual. The winners admitted that things got especially exciting towards the end.

‘In the final stretch, everyone was really piling on the points. There were loads of posts, comments and likes,’ they said after the results were announced.

A last-minute strategy may have helped, but the key to a high finish was taking an active part in the Congress itself.

The prize-giving was one of the final items on the agenda of the 2nd Professional Pet Food Congress, held at the Expo Kielce Congress Centre as part of the inaugural FUTURE PET FOOD.
