From June 4-7, the Entomological Society of America’s North Central Branch will host its annual meeting in Indianapolis. On June 4, Rentokil’s Gene White will lead a symposium for those interested in obtaining their Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) designation. Titled “The Professional ACE: Practice and Application,” the agenda features the latest research on those pests most common to structural pest management, with ample time to ask questions and interface with those researchers at the top of their scientific research area. It also features two open time slots for discussion of topics and the sharing of ideas to improve the practices and application of structural pest management technologies. The agenda is as follows:
