Only information on conferences I and II may be that in Harein and Clarke (1995). Proceedings were published for conferences III and IV. Except for I and II, conferences were a cooperative effort by USDA, industry and universities. During the conferences extensive hands-on training, in-depth lecture session with question and answer delivered state of art technology. The target audience was extension, regulatory and industry safety directors who train workers in food safety and integrated pest management (IPM).
