On behalf of PMANZ and AEPMA (Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association), we’re proud to invite you to the FAOPMA Pest Summit 2026, taking place from 15 to 17 July 2026 in Auckland, New Zealand.
We’re excited to be hosting this important event on behalf of FAOPMA, and we look forward to welcoming pest management professionals from across the Asia-Oceania region and beyond.
FAOPMA President Mr. Raju Parulkar shared his enthusiasm for the 2026 Summit, saying:
“We are truly excited to bring the FAOPMA Pest Summit to Auckland in 2026. This event continues to grow in impact and relevance, and New Zealand offers a unique and inspiring backdrop for industry leaders to come together, share knowledge, and shape the future of pest management. I look forward to seeing our global community gather in such a vibrant and welcoming city.”
Our theme for 2026 — “FutureProof: Smarter Pest Solutions for a Rapidly Changing World” — reflects the need for new thinking and practical innovation in our industry. As the world around us changes, so too must the way we manage pests. The Summit will be a space to share knowledge, explore emerging trends, and spark conversations about the future of pest control.
The event will feature keynote presentations from industry leaders, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and a dynamic trade exhibition. With topics covering technology, sustainability, climate impacts, and regulatory change, there’s something for everyone — whether you’re on the tools, in the lab, or leading a business.
This year’s venue, the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC), is a world-class facility located in the heart of Auckland. With its flexible spaces and modern design, it’s an ideal setting, and puts you right in the centre of a city known for its culture, food, and natural beauty.
Auckland, known as Tāmaki Makaurau in Māori, is New Zealand’s largest and most cosmopolitan city. Set between two harbours and surrounded by natural beauty, Auckland offers a vibrant mix of culture, cuisine, and outdoor adventure. Whether you're interested in exploring the nearby islands, immersing yourself in Māori heritage, or enjoying some of the best food and wine in the Southern Hemisphere, there's something here for every visitor. Extend your stay and experience the breathtaking landscapes that make New Zealand a top global destination—from geothermal wonders and lush rainforests to majestic mountains and dramatic coastlines.
We’re also excited to share that SkyCity Horizon Hotel and SkyCity Hotel will be our recommended accommodation options for delegates. Both are located right on-site at the NZICC, offering premium comfort, convenience, and access to a range of dining and entertainment — all just steps from the conference. Whether you’re travelling from across New Zealand or internationally, you’ll be right in the centre of it all. More information on exclusive delegate rates and how to book will be available soon.
If you're thinking about attending as a delegate or exhibitor, we’d love to hear from you. Register your interest here to stay in the loop about program updates, exhibition opportunities, and early-bird offers.
We look forward to seeing you in Auckland for what promises to be an unforgettable event.
