FREDERICKSBURG, Va. The early days of the pandemic had a number of ramifications for the pest control industry in 2020, with one of the most notable being the cancellation of the UPFDA Spring Conference, an annual event attended by the industry’s product manufacturers, formulators and distributors.
Entering the second year of the pandemic, with conference and trade show activity still in the early stages of recovery, much like the overall economy, the UPFDA board of directors decided to hold this year’s event virtually rather than return to an in-person event. Results were positive.
In kicking off the half-day meeting, UPFDA President Thomas Forshaw IV said hosting the Spring Conference virtually represents an opportunity “to get more people from each of our companies educated and involved,” while reaching out to industry colleagues who may not have attended an UPFDA event in the past.
