ArborEXPO™ Team
ArborEXPO™ was created to bring the tree care industry together in one place — on the show floor and in the field. Now in its sixth year, this rapidly growing event features a unique mix of indoor and outdoor exhibits, giving attendees the opportunity to see equipment up close, test products firsthand, and connect with industry experts. With more than 160 exhibitors, ArborEXPO™ offers practical education, hands-on learning, and real-world solutions, including 19 educational sessions and in-booth demos. The show is produced by Sachin and Diane, alongside the ArborTIMES™ team, bringing more than 50 years of combined industry experience to an event built around the needs of arborists.

Our latest endeavors are ArborSPORTS™ and Arbor AWARDS™.
