Technology is evolving the urban forest industry and we should talk about it.
That’s the premise behind the Trees + Tech Summits, three all-day events being organized this year by PlanIT Geo. Each Summit will gather experts and practitioners to discuss technology, data, trees and the future of urban forestry decision-making. Presenters from across the public, private and nonprofit sectors will introduce and analyze the software, hardware and data that is changing the way they work with trees.
Attendees will be introduced to a wide variety of technologies, along with case studies and actionable steps to put these ideas to work in their own community forest. Presentation topics include inventory management, canopy analysis, tree-equity tools, sensors, ground penetrating radar, drone applications and more.
Each Trees + Tech Summit will precede a major industry conference as an official pre-event:
- August 13 – ISA International Conference pre-event, Albuquerque, New Mexico
- October 15 – World Forum on Urban Forestry pre-event, Washington, D.C.
- November 15 – TCI EXPO pre-event, St. Louis, Missouri
Registration for the ISA Trees + Tech Summit is open now. More information about all three events can be found at planitgeo.com/treesandtech/.
