Syngenta draws crowds at PestWorld 2009 in Las Vegas
Record breaking attendance was evident at NPMA PestWorld 2009 held in Las Vegas, October 26-28 as a variety of both national and international PMPs stopped by the Syngenta booth over the course of three days. Syngenta helped open the exhibit hall festivities with a customer appreciation event in the booth the first afternoon of the show. PMPs were eager to kick back and relax with sports highlight reels and hear the latest company news.
Booth visitors learned more about the Optigard® insecticide line of products including Optigard Flex and Optigard Ant Gel Bait, and were able to preview the new Optigard Fire Ant Bait, launching in early 2010. PMPs were also excited to learn about Demand® EZ insecticide in pints, which offers the lowest entry-level price point in the Demand family.
PMPs who didn’t make it to the show can hear about Optigard brands for themselves in a video interview with Syngenta’s Marc Hennen and Dr. ElRay Roper with Pete Grasso from Pest Management Professional magazine on his blog.
Syngenta once again partnered with Pest Control Technology magazine for the 21st year to sponsor the annual Crown Leadership Awards at PestWorld. "Industry leadership is of utmost importance during a challenging year like 2009,” said Scott Reasons, head of marketing, Syngenta GL&C. ”We are pleased to honor this year’s Crown Leadership Awards recipients who exemplify leadership, integrity and industry support.”
