Guidelines for Hosting the Annual FAOPMA Pest Summit Meeting 

The Summit plays an important role in advancing the professional pest management industry through the exchange of knowledge, ideas, innovation and best practice. It also reflects FAOPMA’s broader commitment to supporting the health, safety and wellbeing of the communities served by the industry throughout the region.

Organising an international conference of this scale requires careful planning, strong leadership and effective collaboration. To support prospective hosts, FAOPMA has developed an online application process and provides guidance and assistance throughout the bidding and planning stages.

Associations interested in hosting a future FAOPMA Pest Summit are invited to submit an application through the FAOPMA website. Applications will be assessed by the FAOPMA Executive Committee, with consideration given to factors such as venue capacity, accessibility, organisational capability and the overall vision for the event.

Each host nation brings its own unique character and local flavour to the Summit. This diversity is one of the strengths of the FAOPMA community and helps ensure that every Pest Summit delivers a memorable experience while continuing to strengthen professional pest management across the region.
