The Indiana Pest Management Association (IPMA) held its annual Summer Conference July 16–18 at Indiana’s historic French Lick Resort, bringing together pest management professionals (PMPs) from across the state for education, networking and fellowship.
The event kicked off Thursday evening with a welcome dinner at the iconic 33 Brick Street Bar & Restaurant, famously associated with Indiana basketball legend Larry Bird. Attendees enjoyed reconnecting with industry colleagues and preparing for a busy weekend of learning and activities.
Friday morning featured an outdoor Continuing Education Unit (CEU) training program attended by 36 participants. Six industry experts delivered hands-on educational sessions, including B&G Systems equipment training, Birchmeier backpack sprayer training presented by R-Pro Partners & Solutions LLC, liquid termiticide equipment calibration by Reliable Exterminators, regulatory updates from the Indiana State Chemist Office, and Bell Laboratories’ rodent sensor bait station training. The outdoor format provided attendees with practical, real-world learning opportunities focused on improving service quality and operational efficiency.
That evening, members gathered for the IPMA Membership Dinner, Board Association Membership Meeting and Live Auction benefiting the IPMA Scholarship Funds. During the dinner, IPMA presented the prestigious Keyman Award to Joe Long of Ace Pest Control in North Webster, Ind. The award recognizes Long’s outstanding service to the association, his dedication to the board and the countless hours he has devoted to representing the industry and advocating on behalf of the Legislative Committee.
On Saturday morning, attendees enjoyed the title-sponsored Oldham Chemical Co. Golf Open Tournament at Sandy Creek, the resort’s newest nine-hole course. Throughout the day, participants also took part in clay shooting and poolside activities, offering opportunities to relax and strengthen professional relationships outside the meeting room.
The weekend concluded with a memorable strike with Neogen’s Sponsored Bowling and Billiard’s Night at the French Lick Resort’s newly renovated bowling facility. The event provided a fun and energetic finale to a successful Summer Meeting.
