Calendar of international pest control events

FAOPMA’s annual conference is an international event for pest control industry in Asia and Oceania
region. FAOPMA has held 27 conferences in various countries since it was established until 2016. These
conferences had lasting positive impact on the pest control industry. In 2016, with the joint efforts of all
member countries, the two major international conferences-FAOPMA and Pest Summit-were integrated,
and FAOPMA-PEST SUMMIT 2017 was successfully held in Thailand with overwhelmingly positive
feedback, far-reaching international influences and high level of satisfactions from all participants.

2018 is the second year after the integration of FAOPMA and Pest Summit, and it is China’s second
term as the seat of Chairperson of FAOPMA. 2018 will be the year for this great industry event to return to China after 9 years.
