As I wrote, we do not have the resources to have a large conference/workshop program every year. So, currently there are no plans for a program similar to last year. The IPM-WG does however meet annually to create and update assets for the museumpets.net website but participants in these work days are actively involved in IPM in their institutions and while the days are informative they are not aimed at teaching IPM. Our tentative plans for 2015 will be a two-day meeting of the working group in March with maybe one additional day for tours of the IPM programs in nearby facilities. We have not worked out logistics yet and so it is not clear if this will be open to members to the public. The emails about future conferences do show that there remains a great need and interest in this topic. There is a conference planned for 2015/16 in Italy and announcements will be made on the PestList.
If you are involved in IPM already and would like to contribute assets for the museumpets.net website and are interested in spending two days with the working group please email me and my Co-Chair Ryan Jones (rjo...@cwf.org). Ultimately, if you are on the PestList listserv (which you can register for on the museumpests.net website) then you will hear about any future meeting plans that are open for a general audience.
