About the In-Person Conference

Attendees can earn pesticide recertification credits and continuing education units (CEUs) for various professional certifications while networking with colleagues, industry leaders, Penn State Extension educators, and regulatory experts. This year’s conference features sessions on emerging challenges, such as Beech Leaf Disease, strategies for sustainable turf management, and integrating native plants into landscapes. For the first time, we are proud to offer Spanish-language sessions to better serve our Spanish-speaking and bilingual participants.
