For the first time in two years, members of the pest control industry gathered in person at the National Pest Management Association’s (NPMA’s) PestWorld 2021.
The event, last held in October 2019, officially kicked off at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas, Nev., on Nov. 2. A strict mask mandate in Nevada, hand sanitizer stations throughout the exhibit hall and stickers on badges indicating attendees’ preferred level of contact were some of the safety protocols in place.
While the final attendance figures are not in yet, the exhibit hall floor was packed with manufacturers, distributors and service providers who were ready and willing to show off their offerings to pest management professionals (PMPs) who seemed excited to be out among colleagues.
NPMA CEO Dominique Stumpf, CMP, CAE, welcomed attendees at an opening ceremony that featured the Rat Pack — Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra — along with Elvis Presley and a couple of beautiful showgirls. “It is so great to be here and to see all of you,” she told the crowd. “Thank you so much or taking the journey, short and long, for showing up and being here so that we can be all together. It feels so good to be back together.”
PestWorld 2021 wraps up on Nov. 5.
