This year’s PestTech broke several records, which included 1,400 visitors, up 200 year-on-year, as well as 85 exhibitors, which was 10 more than PestTech 2024.
Taking place at Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, PestTech 2025 saw 15 seminars delivered, over two floors, and 10 CPD points available for the first time.
Highlights of PestTech 2025 included the Office Lockdown escape room – supported by Pelsis – and Killgerm’s In The Mix cocktail-making sessions.
NPTA was also incredibly proud of the first PestTech Café, giving visitors not only a free coffee – paid for by sponsors – but more importantly a space to talk, be it about work, family, football or, crucially, mental health.
“It’s been really good,” said Kevin Lawrenson, NPTA chief executive. “From the moment the doors opened it was a constant flow all day and the feedback we’ve had from people on the stands is that they have been constantly busy.
“It’s been crazy. We promised fireworks for the fifth of November and we delivered actual fireworks in the shape of Killgerm’s cocktail classes.”
Mr Lawrenson added: “There was so much going on.
“We had two seminar spaces this year, we’ve had the escape room which is new, we’ve had the In The Mix cocktail classes, and it’s been by far and away the biggest attendance we’ve had so far.
“We’re up over 200 on last year and we had more exhibitors as well. The feedback from both delegates and exhibitors has been brilliant. That feedback also includes the fact it’s not just the normal, usual stands but that there are new stands and completely different things to see or do.”
