2026 PCT School Welcomes Hundreds

A big thank you to everyone who joined us at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Conference Center for the 2026 PCT School!

We were fortunate to welcome hundreds of participants to Durham for the event despite some unexpected winter weather which hit the weekend before. A huge thank you to all of our presenters, sponsors and exhibitors for braving the weather to join us in Durham and for helping to make the 76th PCT School a success.

We kicked everything off with a keynote address, “Developing Leaders within Your Organization,” delivered by David Billingsly of the Billingsly Group, followed by NCPMA’s Opening Session and General Membership Meeting.

“People come to the PCT School every year for our nationally recognized speakers and exceptional sessions, but it’s the people of this industry who truly make this event stand out,” said Patrick Thompson, PCT Committee Chair. “We are proud to welcome everyone to the 76th PCT School and look forward to another outstanding year at one of the nation’s largest gatherings of pest management professionals.”

During the opening session, NCPMA also recognized outstanding contributions within the industry, presenting awards for Technician of the Year, Administrative Professional of the Year, and the Above and Beyond Impact Player of the Year.

We are already hard at work planning for the 2027 PCT School so stay tuned for more details!
