About this Event

Join Clemson Extension Horticulture Agent Drew Jeffers on Thursday, October 23, 2025, at the City of Greer's Events Halls for 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, in-person 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 speakers, an excellent lunch, and networking opportunities from the convenience of a comfortable Upstate 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.
