The Conquer Termites Northside team started their PestWorld adventure with the International Delegates Welcome on the 17th of October. This set the tone for a week filled with valuable insights, networking opportunities, catching up with friends, not to mention the exciting events! This was followed by the vibrant Opening Ceremony sponsored by envu which included traditional Hawaiian fire dancers and welcome from NPMA’s CEO Dominique Stumpf.
One of the most exciting parts of PestWorld is the exhibit hall, showcasing the latest products and innovations in the pest management industry. The grand opening and welcome reception, sponsored by Envu, was a fantastic opportunity to explore these cutting-edge solutions and connect with industry leaders.
There were several excellent talks that Alan & Kuy attended during the conference including Thought leader – Make creativity your calling card sponsored by MGK, PPMA – tips, tricks and tools to level up your social media marketing in 2024, Invasive Ants: Coming to a structure near you, Introduction to FAOMPA with Taro Kanazawa and the highlight for us - the CEO Forum, where industry leaders dove into the essential relationship between financial efficiency and environmental sustainability. Notable speakers included Stephen Good of Good Strategies, LLC, Chris Gorecki of Rollins Inc, Steve Nylund of Anticimex, AJ Trelevan of Sprague Pest Solutions, and Vasili Tsoutouras of Allstate Pest Control Pty Ltd.
The Conquer Termites Northside duo had a chance to regroup and share insights with their fellow Australian delegates at a get together at the Maui Brewing Co on the Wednesday evening and at Kelly O’Neils on the Thursday evening, offering a slice of home away from home.
Conquer Termites Northside’s journey to NPMA PestWorld 2023 in Hawaii was nothing short of remarkable. Alan and Kuyan were provided with valuable insights, experiences and endless opportunities to connect with likeminded industry leaders and professionals from around the world. Returning home the duo have carried with them a renewed passion for pest management and the business. Pestworld 2023 was undoubtedly a memorable event for Conquer Termites Northside.
