Strong Turnout and Lasting Connections at the Pacific Northwest Pest Management Conference

A successful gathering highlighting education, community, and the future of our industry.

The Pacific Northwest Pest Management Conference once again brought together professionals from across the region for an exceptional event filled with learning, connection, and shared purpose.

This year’s conference saw incredible attendance across both business and technical sessions, reflecting the industry’s continued commitment to growth, education, and excellence. Attendees engaged in meaningful discussions, gained valuable insights, and returned to their companies with tools to strengthen their operations and service delivery.

A special recognition goes to the newly formed conference board, whose seamless execution of this long-standing event ensured a smooth and successful experience for all involved. Their leadership and dedication were evident throughout every aspect of the conference.

The annual auction was another highlight, with strong participation and generous contributions from attendees. Proceeds support the Norm Ehman Fund, which plays a vital role in advancing research that directly impacts pest management in the Pacific Northwest and helps secure the future of our industry.

OPCA also held its Winter General Membership Meeting during the conference, providing important updates on the direction and priorities of the association. These conversations continue to shape how OPCA supports and advocates for its members.

Beyond the sessions and meetings, the conference delivered something even more meaningful — connection. With spectacular weather as the backdrop, the friendships strengthened and the sense of community shared throughout the event were truly immeasurable.

Thank you to everyone who attended, contributed, and helped make this year’s conference such a memorable and impactful experience.
