AISC's Pre-Conference Workshop!

 

Join us at the AISC's Pre-Conference Pesticide Applicator Credit Workshop on March 2nd, 2027 at Olds College in Olds! This event will be hosted just one day before our Annual Conference and is a separate event from the conference; however, you are encouraged to attend BOTH events!

This workshop is designed to help you earn those elusive credits, like Application Technology, Human Health and Safety, Environment, and Regulations—topics you've requested year after year! Gain 5 essential credits ahead of the main conference and maximize your learning and impact!
