Held each year, and organised by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), PestWorld is the largest and most international gathering in the pest controller’s calendar. 

Last year PestWorld 2025 attracted over 4,500 delegates from over 75 different countries, underlining the global nature of today’s pest management business.  

The event provides an ideal opportunity to experience the scale of the industry on a global basis, to meet pest professionals from around the world, establish new contacts and network with industry colleagues. 

The exhibition is always at the heart of PestWorld events and in 2025 it consisted of nearly 260 exhibitor stands, not only from the US but also from Europe and Asia. Here delegates could catch-up on all the newest developments and products.

For international delegates, the PestWorld 2026 venue is easy to access as it is only six miles (10 kilometres) from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

Once finalised, the programme, exhibition, registration and hotel details will be available in the near future on the PestWorld website at npmapestworld.org/pestworld2026
