What does body language have to do with the pest control sector?

“Mr. Body Language” himself, Allan Pease will be the keynote speaker at the pest management sector’s peak event, the 2017 Rapid Solutions Conference to be held from Thursday 10 to Sunday 13 August 2017 at Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast. 

Communication expert and bestselling author, Allan Pease, is recognised as a relationship, sales and negotiation expert renowned for his motivating talks and advice on winning people over.

Allan will be joined by more than 40 leading speakers and commentators from the pest management and building inspection industry at the event. There are four streams of seminars and workshops at the 2017 event covering topics such as the latest pest control news and products to business operations, insurance and compliance, inspections and personal and professional development. Specifically, some of the presentations include:

• ‘Beneficial Spiders in Back gardens’, Dr, Lizzy Lowe will speak about spider ecology and the important role they play in pest control.
• ‘The Unusual Breeding Systems of Termites’, Dr. Nathan Lo will discuss some of the odd ways termites populate their colonies (and the power structures in the nest including how some termite species, the king mates with hundreds of clones of his deceased queen).

Delegates will also have the opportunity to visit a large trade exhibition which includes information stands and activities from more than 25 organisations.

Not only will the event be educational, but it will be an excellent networking opportunity to meet and connect with others in the industry.  After registering for the conference, attendees will be treated to Welcome Reception drinks sponsored by Syngenta at the Royal Pines Hydrate Bar. There is a Gala Dinner to be held on Friday evening with entertainment from well-known comedian and actor, Dave Thornton. The dinner is sponsored by BASF and will include the announcement of the AEPMA Pest Manager of the Year award. Saturday night is an opportunity to wind down and have a laugh with colleagues over a game of bumper soccer, laser clay target shooting or Segway Olympics, sponsored by FMC. Sunday morning will kick off with four-man Ambrose golf round at the exclusive Royal Pines course.

Delegate packages start from just $570 for the two day conference or $605 for the full program. Registrations can be made by visiting https://conference.rapidsolutions.com.au/  and clicking on register.
