This page covers five events built specifically around skill-building, licensing hours, and technical education rather than trade show floors. The Purdue Pest Management Conference, running January 12 through 14, is one of the most established stops for CEU credits and applied pest management training in the country. The Target Specialty Products Termite Bootcamp in Phoenix on January 23 goes narrow on purpose, making it useful for technicians or owners who want concentrated termite-specific instruction. Most of these events fall in January and February, which works well for operators who need to sort out recertification before the busy season starts. If continuing education, licensing compliance, or building out your team's technical knowledge is the priority, these are the events worth putting on the calendar.
