The discounted early bird registration rate ends on 3 September 2026 for this event to be held at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center, Grapevine, Texas, USA between 20-23 October 2026.

Full details of the programme, the exhibitors, registration and hotel information for PestWorld 2026 are available on the PestWorld website.

Held each year, PestWorld is the largest and most international gathering in the professional pest controller’s calendar. In 2025 it attracted over 4,500 delegates of which nearly 640 were international attendees from 75 countries. Underlining the global nature of today’s pest management business. 

The exhibition is always at the heart of PestWorld events and will feature over 250 exhibitor stands, not only from the US but also from Europe and Asia. Here delegates could catch-up on all the new developments and products.

For international delegates

Not only can international delegates attend all the plenary and concurrent sessions, but also the events specifically designed for them. These include, for those attending for the first time, a specific welcome and orientation session on the first day, before events start to swing into action. 

A highlight is the international reception on Wednesday night, once again sponsored by Orkin. This is always a very sociable event and a great place to catch up with all those from overseas.

On Thursday afternoon, the Global Pest Management Coalition is holding an open meeting. All international delegates are most welcome. Come along and find out what this group has been working on. 

The event finishes on Friday evening with the PestFest closing party. With the event in Texas, this promises to be a high-energy, Texas-style closing party with live music, great food and drinks and plenty of fun. Boots, hats and Texas flair encouraged!

Full details of all the sessions can be explored on the PestWorld website.
