The Professional Landcare Network and the National Pest Management Association have teamed up once again to co-host the national Lawn Care Summit, which will be held December 3–5 in Tampa, Fla.

Dr. Charlie Hall of Texas A&M University, the event's keynote speaker, will offer insight about the future of the industry, the economic forecast as it relates to consumer purchasing, how to adapt to economic cycles, and strategies to stay ahead in the modern marketplace.

The conference features education that is targeted to technicians, business owners and managers. The technician track includes sessions on the diagnosis, care and management of turf from leading university professors and researchers. Sessions on health care law, human resources, developing new business lines, and finance are included in the business management track.

In addition to the education sessions, there will be networking lounges and an exhibit hall showcasing the latest products in lawn care and pest management.
