The Smoky Mountain Pest Control Conference was created with the pest management professional in mind. The pest control industry is driven by science and change, but often that information takes a while to get to those that need it. So we bring in local and national speakers that present information on the latest research, treatment methods and products. At this conference you get to interact with your peers, visit vendor booths to check out products and ask questions and earn points for recertification.
This 1-day conference will be held on Wednesday, January 14, 2026 at the University of TN Conference Center. You will earn recertification points at this all day event. Lunch is included. Space is limited to the first 150 people to register.
CEUs: 7 for TN; 5 for NC; 5 for KY and SC; GA and AL pending
