Our all-volunteer planning committees Ihave worked long and hard to bring you an exciting event focusing on solutions to global pest challenges in agriculture and communities. The program committee has designed a format that will bring us together for stimulating plenary sessions throughout our three days together. We’ll hear keynotes from international experts from government, academia, Extension and industry, interspersed with informative breakouts, poster sessions and social events. Our goal is to send you home refreshed and invigorated by the energy created by having so many friends and colleagues in one place, and by the research, implementation and outreach challenges and opportunities we’ll explore together. We hope you will enjoy the many cultural and outdoor offerings, including the opening reception at the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum and the special tours of the Memphis Zoo and Shelby Farms Park. Finally, we thank all of our sponsors, contributors, volunteers, presenters and attendees for the time and resources you have all committed to make this event possible! Welcome and enjoy!
