On July 10–11, 2024, the Perú Plagas congress took place in Lima, an event that marked a special milestone for me. It was held at Ricardo Palma University, my alma mater, where I studied years ago. Coming back, now as a professional and CEO of Rupipest, was deeply moving. And the thrill of setting up our booth and seeing users come by with curiosity and enthusiasm was simply unmatched.
This year we also officially named Gerardo Amezcua our "Rupipest Ambassador in Mexico." Thank you for so many years of trust; now you're officially part of Rupipest's international team. We even had a limited-edition Musmus made just for him.
At our booth we set up a prize wheel where anyone interested in our software could win free months of subscription, discounts and even our beloved "Rupi Musmus." Watching attendees spin the wheel and win prizes with a smile reminded us why we love what we do: bringing innovation to more companies and making their lives easier.
I had the honor of giving the talk "Auditing urban integrated pest management programs: efficient technology solutions." We discussed having your company's information in real time to make better decisions. It was very satisfying to see the audience's interest; many told us afterwards they had also watched our videos and tutorials online.

Gerardo Amezcua also presented "Information macrosystems: including the pest controller in the HACCP team." His talk was a hit, approaching urban IPM from a business-growth angle, especially delivering valuable information, starting by rethinking what a pest actually is.

Perú Plagas 2024 was an enriching, memorable experience. It let us show our innovations and also learn and grow alongside other professionals. Seeing how Rupipest is helping transform pest control, and being part of this community, pushes us to keep improving. We're now in 16 countries bringing digital transformation.
We left the congress committed to coming back next year with more digital innovation and technology solutions for urban IPM. See you at the next events:
