US-based trade association the Biological Products Industry Alliance (BPIA), which represents the biopesticides and biostimulants industries, has announced that it will be holding a Sustainability Symposium in Orlando, Florida, on 11 October.
The event is aimed at the manufacturers and marketers of biological products, as well as distributors, food processors, growers and service providers supporting agriculture, public health, forestry and specialty markets such as home and garden, turf and ornamentals, and structural pest control.
The Sustainability Symposium is set to include topics such as growing consumer interest in biological products, the role of biological products in integrated pest management and how to continue building credibility for the biostimulants industry.
“BPIA recognises the important role biological products play in sustainability,” said Scott Peterson, co-chair of the BPIA Meeting Planning Committee and eastern regional sales director for Certis. “Consequently, we are holding this Sustainability Symposium on 11 October in conjunction with our annual Fall Meeting on 10 October at the Hyatt Regency Orlando to spread the word about integrating biological products into sustainability goals.'
As interest in the biological products sector grows, attendance at BPIA’s meetings, conferences, workshops and symposiums is also increasing, stated the organisation, which expects the Orlando event to the biggest yet.
