A series of events designed specifically for the large number of international delegates are to be held at PestWorld 2024.
These are designed to not only make any first-time delegates most welcome, but also to provide opportunities for international delegates to socialise, network and attend specific business and industry meetings.
Organised by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), PestWorld 2024 is to be held between October 22-25, 2024 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center, Denver, Colorado, USA. Each year, PestWorld attracts around 500 international delegates from at least 50 different countries.
Specifically for international delegates
Right from the start, overseas delegates are made to feel most welcome as there is a special international welcome and registration desk. Then before events swing into action, at 11.00am on Tuesday morning, the first day, there is the international welcome session. An overview of the forthcoming events will be given and delegates have the opportunity to enquire about any features they are uncertain about.
On Wednesday evening, the international reception, commencing at 5.30pm, and sponsored by Orkin, is an event not to be missed. Restricted to international delegates, this very social session offers an ideal opportunity to catch up with overseas friends, as well as getting to meet colleagues new to you.
To be held on the third day, Thursday, October 24, at 2pm, the Global Pest Management Coalition is holding an open meeting, under the chairmanship of Alberto Ponjoan, to find out what this group has been doing over the last year and how it has refined its structure so as to have a board of directors as opposed to a council.
This change will help the Coalition in its efforts to establish a formalized role in working with the World Health Organisation and other global agencies that impact the industry. There will also be a report on the work undertaken by the Global Sustainability working group, chaired by Chris Gorecki (Orkin) and Natalie Bungay from the British Pest Control Association.
Choice of all the educational sessions and the exhibition
As a registered delegate, there are the opening sessions on each day to attend and the full range of the technical educational sessions to choose from covering virtually every technical topic and pest likely to be encountered by a professional pest controller. There is also the nearly sold-out exhibition hall to visit housing approaching 200 exhibitors.
The event finishes on Friday evening with the PestFest closing party. With local bands and fun activities, it’s an ideal opportunity to let your hair down and say farewell to colleagues and new friends made.
It’s not too late to register and international delegates are offered a special reduced rate registration, details of which, along with information regarding hotel accommodation, is available on the PestWorld 2024 website, www.pestworld2024.org.
