“For the First time at TCI EXPO, BIK will give away some exclusive prizes that you will not want to miss. Although we cannot yet spill the beans on what our giveaways will be,” says BIK’s Nathan Ivan. Follow BIK Boom Trucks social media accounts for details about these pre-EXPO prizes.

But what really sets TCI EXPO ’25 apart is the transformative experience it offers. From high-energy demonstrations to in-depth workshops and a show floor that will be practically overflowing with innovation, there will be something for everyone. And this year, we’re proud to unveil a brand-new feature that’s already generating buzz – TCI EXPOSaw.

TCI EXPOSaw
TCI EXPOSaw is poised to become the must-visit hub for anyone passionate about saw work. Imagine stepping into a hands-on playground curated specifically for chain-saw enthusiasts – featuring live demos, new tools and the minds behind the machines. That’s TCI EXPOSaw!

This immersive area brings together the most respected chain-saw manufacturers and educators in the industry, including Echo, Greenworks Commercial, Husqvarna, Milwaukee Tool, Stihl and more. Attendees can expect both booth-based demos and live educational sessions on the TCI EXPOSaw Mainstage, ensuring a fully integrated learning experience. And there’s more – Women’s Tree Climbing Workshop will be a major force behind TCI EXPOSaw, offering inclusive, hands-on training led by a powerful all-women team.

From product launches to critical safety techniques, such as Stop the Bleed tourniquet training, this is the place to refine your chain-saw skills and expand your expertise in real time.

The trade-show floor
The heartbeat of TCI EXPO is, of course, the trade-show floor, and this year’s will be the largest and most dynamic to date. With more than 250 exhibitors confirmed, the floor will be a vibrant marketplace of ideas, gear, services and networking opportunities.

One of the cornerstone features returning this year is the Tree Demo, a vital educational feature that highlights real-world techniques and collaboration. For 2025, Rooted Arbor Care – a proud, two-year TCIA member – will provide the tree, helping create a dynamic environment for learning and interaction in the middle of the trade-show floor. These demos aren’t just about watching someone else work – they’re about exploring methods, asking questions and engaging with fellow professionals who live and breathe this industry.

Another favorite making its return is the TCI EXPOGrow Stage. Here, attendees will find out-of-the-box sessions that go beyond the technical – such as “Yoga for Arborists,” which addresses physical wellness and longevity in a demanding profession. This stage is where innovation meets personal development, giving attendees a chance to invest not just in their businesses, but in themselves.
