National Summit to Discuss Cost Effective Methods in Bed Bug Prevention for Property Managers
The BedBug University: North American Summit will Provide Property Managers with a Blueprint for Bed Bug Containment, Prevention and Treatment Methods
Lawrenceville, N.J. —Bed bug infestations remain an important issue for retail and commercial property managers in terms of treatment costs, awareness, prevention, and reintroduction. BedBug Central, a leading educational resource for bed bug services, will provide property managers with comprehensive information on effective bed bug management during the third annual North American Bed Bug Summit.
The two-day conference, “BedBug University: North American Summit 2012” will be held Sept. 6-7 at the Red Rock Resort, Casino and Spa in Las Vegas, NV. Attendees will hear from 23 of the leading bed bug experts in world on actionable strategies for legal protection, bed bug control, treatment cost reduction, and much more.
According to Jeffrey White, Technical Director for BedBug Central, this year’s summit is expanded to provide property managers with an international perspective on bed bug management and prevention. Expertise will be provided by companies like AntiCimex, which has more than 70 years of experience treating bed bugs in a cost effective and efficient manner.
“Our work with properties shows that this industry requires the latest information about bed bugs to best handle infestations,” said White. “This summit fulfills that need by exploring new treatment strategies, reviewing the latest research, and presenting expert perspectives that will help save properties valuable time and resources.”
In addition to hearing from leading bed bug authorities such as Dr. Michael Potter, Dr. Dini Miller, and Richard Cooper, the summit will continue its popular EXPOcentral, one of the largest expositions of bed bug related vendors and services. This forum allows attendees to make informed decisions about who to select as future service partners by viewing hands-on demonstrations from 75 exhibitors and comparing multiple manufacturers in one setting.
The summit will also feature “Interactive Stakeholder Discussions.” This event allows attendees in specific industries to speak directly with experts and each other to better exchange information, ask questions, and address key considerations. Experts in sectors such as pest management, legal services and governmental regulations, among others will be present at the summit.
To increase interaction, networking, and questions in a casual setting, the summit will continue its wildly popular and free premier “Beer Tasting Reception” in EXPOcentral and “Night Out with the Experts” event at the Cabo Mexican Restaurant.
Early bird registration is still available at $525.00 per person and regular registration is $595.00. More information about the BedBug University: North American Summit and registration instructions can be found at http://www.bedbugcentral.com/summit.
