Welcome to FAOPMA Pest Summit 2026
15–17 July 2026 | New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC), Auckland
On behalf of PMANZ and AEPMA (Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association), we’re proud to invite you to the FAOPMA Pest Summit 2026, taking place from 15 to 17 July 2026 in Auckland, New Zealand.
We’re excited to be hosting this important event on behalf of FAOPMA and are thrilled to bring the FAOPMA Pest Summit to Auckland for the first time. This event continues to grow in impact and relevance each year, and New Zealand provides a unique and inspiring backdrop for pest management professionals to come together, share knowledge, and shape the future of our industry.
Our theme for 2026 — “FutureProof: Smarter Pest Solutions for a Rapidly Changing World” — reflects the need for new thinking and practical innovation in our industry. As the world around us changes, so too must the way we manage pests. The Summit will be a space to share knowledge, explore emerging trends, and spark conversations about the future of pest control.
The event will feature keynote presentations from industry leaders, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and a dynamic trade exhibition. With topics covering technology, sustainability, climate impacts, and regulatory change, there’s something for everyone — whether you’re on the tools, in the lab, or leading a business.
