The National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in collaboration with conference co-hosts the North Carolina Pest Management Association (NCPMA) and the South Carolina Pest Management Association (SCPMA), has canceled the 2020 Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic Summer Conference that was slated to be held this July in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
“The safety and wellbeing of our attendees is our primary concern,” Alexis Wirtz, the NPMA’s senior VP of meetings, said in a news release. “With health concerns and the continued restrictions on large gatherings, we felt it most prudent to cancel this in-person event.”
The NPMA has scheduled the 2021 Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic Summer Conference to take place at the Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort from July 29-31, 2021.
The announcement follows the news that the NPMA Academy would take place as a virtual, rather than in-person event in mid-July. Per the NPMA, Academy 2020 will take place virtually beginning in mid-July and run every other week through early October. Each session will be approximately 90 minutes long, and will include a variety of keynote presentations, interactive team building tasks, and Learning Lab breakouts focused on business management. From Oct. 13-16, Academy participants will be encouraged to join in-person for PestWorld 2020 in Nashville, Tenn., where the Academy champions will be celebrated and an exclusive Academy meet-up will take place facilitating continued engagement and networking. Professionals can sign up for Academy 2020 at Academy.npmapestworld.org.
“With the online format this year, we are able to have flexible registration options so attendees can choose how they want to experience this event,” Aric Schroeder, general manager and VP of national accounts for Copesan, and Leadership Networking Community (LNC) Chair, said in the news release. “Participants will have the option to be placed on a team, similar to the original face-to-face format, or they can sign up a la carte for specific sessions that appeal to them and fit their schedules.”
