    Look at developments in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) over

    Share new understandings about pest species and the risks they
    pose to our heritage collections

    Be a platform for showing how successful training programmes
    have raised the profile of IPM both within the heritage sector
    and beyond

    Present case studies covering control strategies in both a
    traditional museum setting and the wider heritage context

    Formulate a set of guidelines and identify priorities for future
    work and research to make IPM even more effective for all those
    who work in the heritage museum and heritage world

Speakers are coming from far and wide including Japan, Australia,
USA, and Europe and include David Pinniger and Tom Strang. See full
