Emerging Pest  Management Challenges 2009

Advances in Biology and Research of Urban Pests Symposium

(A symposium in the ABRUP series)

Sydney Event

Change is Happening!

Are you prepared?

Change is set to impact on the Australian pest management industry. Soon-to-emerge changes and those already underway will throw up significant challenges for those working in and with the industry.

Just some of the challenging changes include:

  • climate change (especially global warming);
  • the introduction of exotic urban pests;
  • amendments to Federal, State and even local government legislation and ;
  • new pest management technologies and chemicals.

With every challenge however, comes opportunity, especially for those

who are prepared for change!

Be Prepared!

This ABRUP Symposium will provide accurate, up-to-date information on the biology and management of urban pests and insights into emerging challenges in their management.

The ABRUP symposium aims to address the reduction in available biological teaching expertise and an overall decrease in training on pest biology which currently exists.

Who Should Attend - and Why

Whatever your role in urban pest management - this day of expert briefing will be of immense value to you. In a single, one-day event, you will gain a better understanding of how biology and pest management interact. We invite you to participate in this professional development event, meet the authorities, broaden your network, make new contacts, identify the best sources of expertise and information, earn CPD points and importantly, enjoy doing all this!

Aims of the Event

To assist pest managers to:

  • Provide more effective pest management services by learning the most up to date information on the biology of pests from acknowledged experts;
  • Provide financial support for further initiatives to support and promote safe and effective urban and commercial pest management.
