Lawn & Landscape Announces Dates For 2005 Weed & Insect Management Seminars

By popular demand, Lawn & Landscape has broken down traditional seminar barriers and is presenting two targeted seminars based on the geographic diversity of event attendees. Recognizing that contractors in different areas of the country face different challenges in terms of pest pressures, application scheduling, and more, the 2005 Weed & Insect Management Seminars will be split between the northern and southern United States. The North Seminar will take place August 3 and 4, 2005, in Cleveland, Ohio and the South Seminar will take place August 17 and 18, 2005, in New Orleans, La.

These events will provide attendees in both regions access to the latest technical information and business trends specific to their market – a customized education event like no other. Highlights for the seminars include:

• Seminar content dedicated solely to the topic of servicing and selling weed and insect management services.
• An array of speakers and diverse topics that will provide a fresh approach to business and technical issues.
• Two uniquely different seminars focused on regional interests for industry professionals in the North and South.
• Available continuing education/certification credits for attendees.
• Opportunities to exchange ideas with speakers, industry leaders and fellow attendees from across the country.

Contractors interested in registering themselves and/or their employees for the events may contact Michelle Fitzpatrick in the Conference & Seminar Division at 800/456-0707 ext. 218 or by email at mfitzpatrick@giemedia.com. Sponsorship opportunities also are available. For details, contact Cindy Code at 330/657-2584 or ccode@giemedia.com, or Jeff Fenner at 800/456-0707 etx. 215 or jfenner@giemedia.com.
