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 2016 is June 23-25 at the Marriott Waikiki Beach Resort!
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 terrific Keynote Speaker is Ken Grace, Professor and Dean at the University of Hawaii’s Entomology Department. Dr. Grace is a world-renowned expert on the management and behavior of structural pests. His presentation is entitled: "Travelling Pests in Paradise."
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 again have a large Exhibit Hall with 66 booths...most have already been taken!
The Installation Banquet is a time when we can all be proud of our association, as we celebrate the dedication and commitment of individuals who provide the leadership in PCOC. By the same token, celebrating what PCOC is all about: our members.
