PESTWORLD 2015 HIGHLIGHTS
GENERAL SESSION SPEAKERS
PestWorld's Opening General Session on Wednesday, October 21 will feature Jason Dorsey - a.k.a. the "Gen Y Guy" and one of the foremost experts on solving tough generational challenges. In this provocative presentation, Dorsey exposes new generational truths that directly impact leaders like you. You will hear surprising data, firsthand stories, and step-by-step actions - which you can use to drive communication, engagement, recruiting, and more. Arrive early because you want to hear why Gen Y doesn't like vowels and the one tool Baby Boomers never leave home without. The session is sponsored by Dow AgroSciences.
On Thursday, October 22, world-renowned adventurer Alison Levine will share with you the lessons she has learned from various extreme environments - ranging from Mt Everest to the South Pole - and explain how they apply to business and beyond. Her advice is flat-out contrarian and flies in the face of what you've been told by well-known management gurus and highly-paid executive coaches: encourage big egos, go backward - away from your goal, ignore the rules, ditch the plan, deprive yourself of sleep, and reward failure. The session is sponsored by Syngenta.
OPENING CEREMONY AND WELCOME RECEPTION
Runners up on the 2010 vocal competition The Sing-Off, Street Corner Symphony will use little more than their own voices to get you ready to take on PestWorld 2015. With their music ranging from gospel and barbershop to rock and pop, everyone is sure to enjoy themselves at this opening ceremony! The session is sponsored by Bayer.
PESTWORLD FINAL BANQUET AND ENTERTAINMENT
Take Coldplay, U2, Charlie Daniels Band, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews Band, a hint of The Rolling Stones, put them in Nashville, break them up into pieces, and use all of the parts to create an amazing musical experience! The banquet and entertainment is sponsored by BASF.
PESTWORLD EXHIBIT HALL
This year, NPMA is anticipating a completely sold out exhibit hall - with nearly 170 leading vendors showcasing the latest products and services, exhibitors will show you their new products, explain current techniques, and demonstrate solutions to benefit small, mid-sized, and large pest management companies, as well as government employees and university researchers.
And, on top of all this, attendees will have the tried-and-true experience of PestWorld - a mix of education, networking and research designed to complement your individual business model.
