The highlight for each TCIA staff member at TCI EXPO is seeing the smiles and excitement on the faces of the attendees. While putting together the show floor and coordinating the educational opportunities is a lot of work, watching the tree care industry come together makes all of it worthwhile. Since we didn’t hold TCI EXPO in 2020, we were on the edge of our seats, so to speak, for 2021 to come around. There were a lot of uncertainties of what the status of the world – and of the industry – would even be.
But on November 6, 2021, we broke our previous record of registered attendees and had officially held the largest TCI EXPO in our history. Check out TCI EXPO 2021 by the numbers:
- Registered attendees – 4,062
- Educational sessions – 39
- Preconference workshops – 5
- Tree demos – 10
- Trade-show exhibitors – 223
- All-Access Passes purchased – 1,963
- Student Career Days attendees – 131
- Hotel rooms booked – 2,669
- Connections made – too many to count
OK, so the last one may not be an exact measurable, but it is because of you that TCI EXPO is the largest trade show and conference in the industry!
Here is what some of the attendees said were their highlights from the show.
- “I had some really nice conversations with the vendors on the floor. It was nice that they spend considerable time with attendees while answering questions and just talking shop.” – Doug Muth, CTSP, DJM Tree, LLC, Media, Pennsylvania
- “The diversity of what is available. There is something for everyone there, and the networking is phenomenal.” – David Vincent, CTSP, Quality Tree Service of West Michigan, White Cloud, Mich.
- “Reconnecting with arborists and vendors to continue building relationships.” – Drew Dunavant, CTSP, QCL, Truetimber Arborists, Inc., Richmond, Virginia
- “I was unable to attend in person last minute, so the ability to be a part of it online was awesome.” – Alexandra Stewart, Nick’s Tree Service, Inc., Arrow, Oklahoma
- “The industry as a whole, attending and eager to learn. Having a place annually to showcase gear and equipment is excellent.” – Keith Blakeslee, NW JATC, Washington
- “Getting to see the next step in my career and how to accomplish my goals and (achieve) success around a group of people who love it as much as I do.” – Bayley Jones, BeaverJack Tree Service, LLC, Natrona Heights, Pa.
- “A concerted effort to make our industry more inclusive as well as promote safe work habits.” – Thomas A. Beyma, Guardian Tree Experts, LLC, Ann Arbor, Mich.
