IPM Recognition/Incentive
 The power of the marketplace is a long-recognized and under-utilized potential to drive IPM adoption in agriculture and communities. Market-based incentives for IPM include customer loyalty, price premiums, access to markets, reduced susceptibility to pesticide and other agri-scares and cost-sharing for IPM practices. Our first session will focus on leading certification and labeling options for IPM growers, pest management professionals and others. The second will address processor, retailer, food service and consumer organization participation. The third session will address opportunities in the new farm bill for advancing IPM implementation including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), a federal cost-share program.

Marketing IPM
 IPM has done a great job of developing scientifically sound pest management programs for agriculture, forestry, and urban settings. Yet while we do good science, we don’t always do a good job of “packaging” IPM programs, of communicating the value of IPM to wide-ranging audiences. In this session, we’ll learn how all of us involved with IPM can improve our strategies and methods for marketing—and thus implementing—IPM. The workshop concludes with a 30-min. panel discussion; all speakers will be present: Topic: “Specific Steps to Improve Marketability of IPM.”

New Management Technologies
 New technologies and novel approaches are needed to improve the cost-effectiveness, reduce the environmental impact, and increase the adoption by growers of IPM programs. Several such innovations will be discussed in sessions on the use of biorational pesticides and precision agriculture in IPM. The need for innovation in IPM has also resulted in the promotion by some entrepreneurs of unproven or fraudulent technologies and approaches. A third session entitled “Dubious Products for Integrated Pest Management” will explore a number of these failed, misguided, or fraudulent innovations.

Building Partnerships; Examples and the Necessary Skills
 What is the sound of one hand clapping? You may not need to puzzle over this if you learn to forge partnerships. For this conference topic, we won’t just share what we know; we’ll involve you from the moment you step up to the registration desk. Join us for sessions that draw upon the expertise of people from California to North Carolina, from Virginia to Oregon. In the 12 sessions that we’ve planned, you can gain the skills that are integral to forming successful partnerships, find out why some partnerships soar and others flop, glean specifics from dozens of public and private partnerships, then begin your own successful partnerships…and listen to the applause.

Community (Urban) IPM
 "Community IPM" is pest management for the non-agricultural sector, including structures, schools, homes, landscapes, golf courses, parks, rights-of-ways, and more. These environments span urban, suburban and rural settings. Community IPM sessions will run throughout the conference, focusing on the latest, up-to-the minute, techniques, solutions and challenges facing integrated pest management. IPM implementation, fruitful partnering, success stories and challenges will be discussed in depth using panel presentations, audience participation and case studies. Unique programs for delivering IPM information to community residents will be presented for both outdoor and structural pests. The impact of legislation and policies that mandate or prescribe IPM, illustrated by examples from several municipalities, also will be discussed.

IPM Education/Outreach
 People who can benefit from understanding and using IPM are as diverse as the environments in which they live, work and play. As a result, education and outreach programs must be designed to be effective for a broad range of audiences, both professional and general public. Speakers in a series of sessions will focus on innovative and successful education and outreach efforts for multiple audiences including: 1. Production agriculture (New Tools for Agricultural Professionals) 2. K-16 students and faculty (IPM Curriculum and Instructional Approaches) 3. General publics (many): (Public Community IPM Outreach: Beyond the Fact Sheet) 4. Federal agency employees and administrators (Federal Agency IPM Training)

Vertebrate/Wildlife IPM
 Problems involving wildlife as pests have increased over the last three decades. An important and growing component includes nuisance wildlife in communities. A private wildlife control industry has developed to address these concerns. Two sessions at the Fourth National IPM Symposium will address urban wildlife pests and the wildlife control industry. The first session will track the development of the wildlife control industry and assess its needs. The second session will discuss the development of associated training materials. Both sessions will engage all participants in small group interactions and result in recommendations for action.

Invasive Species
 The movement of people, livestock, and equipment into natural areas to support recreation, forestry, livestock production, mining, firefighting and other efforts has increased the rate of range expansion of invasive species in wildlands and waterways. In many cases, invasive species cause a combination of economic, environmental, and health threats. The impacts of invasive species and the need to protect natural resources has increased demand for IPM approaches on a wide range of habitat types. Invasive species have become a high priority for natural resource managers; coordinated efforts are needed to address this growing problem.

Biotechnology
 Biotechnology has changed the face of American agriculture over the past decade, with broad adoption of insect-protected corn and cotton and herbicide-tolerant corn, cotton and soybeans. These sessions will examine the role of current commercial biotech crops in Integrated Pest Management systems and the potential of future products to further change agricultural practices. Presentations and discussions will assess advantages and disadvantages of biotech crops relative to land use, sustainable agriculture, ecological impact, biodiversity, and control of non-target pests. Attention also will be given to how information technologies can be used to evaluate new agricultural technologies.

IPM in Organic Systems
 IPM principles, strategies, and tactics are highly applicable and adaptable to organic agricultural systems. Conventional farmers and ranchers nation-wide are increasingly interested in approaches to integrated pest management for organic systems since the release of USDA organic certification standards in 2002. Current applied research and extension programs are providing successful field-based working models of pest management for organic growers. Field crop, fruit, and vegetable organic production systems will be discussed and research and educational needs will be identified to support the growing organic agriculture field for small and conventional-sized producers.
