Doors at Aston University in Birmingham, U.K., will open for the conference on the afternoon of July 9. There will be a welcome reception that evening.

The scientific conference begins with a full plenary session on the morning of July 10 with delegates then selecting from concurrent sessions on bed bugs or invasive species for the afternoon. Over the subsequent two days there will be 60 concurrent sessions for delegates to pick from, plus more than 40 poster papers with speakers from across the globe. A wide range of themes will be covered from bed bugs to rodents and from invasive species to mosquitoes and termites.

Matthew Davies, chair of the organizing committee, adds: “Although the main attraction of ICUP 2017 is quite rightly the quality science relating to urban pests, there remains ample time to enjoy oneself away from the lecture theater. Accommodation on campus is included in the price of registration to allow delegates to get to know each other. Everyone being together on campus is a great way to enjoy networking. The best urban pest discussions sometimes take place outside of a lecture theatre. Let it be known too that the organizing committee know how to throw a great party, so be sure to include the conference dinner in your booking!”
