Join us for NPMA's 29^th Academy! By participating in Academy, you’re committing to expanding your network, enhancing your leadership skills, and accelerating your business.

Whether this is your first Academy or your 29^th, you’ll be glad you decided to join us this year. On top of exceptional leadership development sessions, Academy is all about sportsmanship and team spirit. With a variety of physical competitions, mental challenges, and team tasks, the Academy Olympic Games will forever change the way you view a meeting. We promise to get you on your feet, your mind working, and your enthusiasm recharged.

New to Academy? What is this conference all about?

The NPMA Academy is a specialty meeting with a focus on creating networking opportunities and professional growth through engaging sessions, supreme networking through team engagement and fun!

Each attendee will be assigned a team before coming to Academy. Over the three days, you will get to know your team very well and will work together to discuss business topics and participate in Olympic games (both physical and mental challenges) for a chance to be the winning Gold medal team at the end of the conference.

There is something for everyone and the more you participate, the more you get out of the experience.   We promise that after you participate once, you will want to come back for more.  Grow your network, learn new skills to aid your personal and professional growth, and form lasting industry relationships.

NPMA’s Leadership Networking Community (LNC), the group that hosts Academy, has a mission to cultivate professional development and networking opportunities throughout the year. NPMA’s LNC and Corteva are working to create an Academy program that will not only engage our past participants, but also open the door to pest management professionals who have not had the opportunity to attend this unique event in the past.
