Every year the California Pest Control Industry gathers together, in what is the largest annual convention and trade show for our industry in the country, outside of NPMA's PestWorld. This year, we again have a program with increased value and format. Expo 2014 is June 19-21 at Harrah's Resort and Casino in Las Vegas!
Our Expo program is designed to provide interesting and informative speakers, an exhibit hall where PCOs can learn about new products, and also to provide CE hours. Friday is reserved for Continuing Education. Our Keynote Speaker will be terrific! Mike Potter, Professor and urban entomologist at the University of Kentucky. Dr. Potter is a world renowned expert. His presentation is entitled: "Bed Bug Nation. Are We Making Any Progress?"
One of the most important functions of this premier event is in the networking that takes place among the attendees: PCOC companies, manufacturers and suppliers. Several manufacturers and suppliers, for instance, take this time to roll out new products because of the high value placed on the Exhibit Hall. This year we have the capacity for 80 booths...half of which have already been taken!
This year's golf tournament is at the Legacy Golf Club which will be followed by an awards lunch!
The Installation Banquet is a time when we can all be proud of our association: celebrating the dedication and commitment of individuals who provide the leadership in PCOC. By the same token, celebrating what PCOC is all about: our members.
