About the Event
The 2027 Industry Technology Session (ITS) will be held virtually ( via Zoom) on Thursday, February 18. We anticipate a schedule from 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, but the exact timing may change. This annual event invites companies to introduce novel pest control technologies, present updates on products already in IR-4 research, or share news about previously presented technologies or already known products.
The ITS is a precursor to the 2027 Food Use Workshop (details on this priority-setting meeting are coming soon to the Events & Training page). Technologies discussed during the next ITS may be eligible for IR-4 research in 2028. Find the presentations from the 2026 Industry Technology Session here.
We will continue adding information and resources (such as the agenda and registration link) to this page as our team finalizes the details. We hope you’ll join us in February!
