Pest Management Companies
Meet the Talent Pipeline You've Been Looking For.
The pest management industry's most persistent challenge isn't regulation or competition. It's workforce. LAUNCH: Pest Management Career Summit is where we start solving it together.
LAUNCH places your company in direct, face-to-face contact with college students from technical, 2-year, and 4-year schools, along with other aspiring talent who have made a deliberate choice to learn about careers in this industry. These are not passive job seekers. They've shown up — and your first conversation starts from a position of genuine interest.
Employer Engagement Zone — Career Fair
The Employer Engagement Zone runs across Days 1 and 2. As a participating employer, you receive dedicated booth space, structured networking time with prospective employees, and access to the adjacent Student Lounge and interview areas for one-on-one conversations. Career fair booth space is available to NPMA member companies on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Career Fair Booth: $1,500 (includes one complimentary staff registration)
- Additional booth staff badges: $300 each
- Non-member company representatives: $1,000/badge (career fair booth not available)
Sponsorship
Amplify your LAUNCH presence with a sponsorship package that puts your brand at the center of the event experience — from the Welcome Reception to the Closing Ceremony. Tiers range from Premier ($65,000) to Event Supporter ($2,500).
