About this Event

Want to attend the 8th Annual Clemson Extension IPM Symposium in Greer, SC, but don't want to drive to the Upstate?

Join Clemson Extension Horticulture Agent Vicky Bertagnolli on Thursday, October 23, 2025, in the assembly room at the Aiken County Clemson Extension office for the live broadcast of the 8th Annual Clemson Extension IPM Symposium.

The IPM Symposium is an annual event that provides up-to-date information for horticultural professionals on ornamental and turf pest management. This all-day event is designed to give participants direct access to researchers and obtain scientific and practical tools to manage pests effectively.

Participants will enjoy great information featuring live, remote speakers who will be broadcast to our location, an excellent lunch, and networking opportunities from the convenience of a comfortable Aiken County venue.

Take this opportunity to learn about the potential of adding new services to your current service offerings, pest management, and diagnostic tips, and gain CEUs if you are a currently licensed South Carolina pesticide applicator.

Credits offered:
6 SC Category 3
6 SCCLP

Participants must be present for the entire training to be eligible to sign for recertification credits.
