A Pest Odyssey 2011: Ten Years Later was a follow up to the highly successful conference of the same name held in 2001.

- Shared new understandings about pest species and the risks they pose
- Was platform for showing how successful training programmes have raised the profile of IPM both within the heritage sector and beyond
- Presented cases studies covering a variety of practical control strategies and how these can work in both the traditional museum setting and the wider heritage context
- Formulated a set of guidelines and priorities for future work and research to make IPM even more effective
- Enabled people to share and discuss their problems and successes
