Each year, TCI EXPO grows, evolves and delivers new opportunities for tree care professionals to learn, connect and discover the tools and strategies they need to succeed. Whether you’re coming to explore equipment, build your network or sharpen your business skills, this year’s event has been designed with one goal in mind: to help you maximize your time and walk away with real value for your company and career.

Here are a few ways you can make the most of your TCI EXPO ’25 experience November 6-8 in St. Louis, Missouri.

When you’re trying to visit more than 250+ exhibitors spread across 525,000 square feet of show floor, it can feel like an adventure. This year, we’re making it easier than ever with a brand-new, interactive digital floor-plan wall – a life-sized touchpad that helps you quickly locate vendors, identify session areas and plan your route.

This larger-than-life floor-plan wall will be located in the Plaza Lobby outside of the trade-show-floor entrance. There also will be a QR code to scan that will connect you with our digital, interactive floor plan on all your devices!

Think of it as your personalized guide through the show floor – helping you spend less time wandering and more time connecting with the people and products that matter most to you.

These workshops are the perfect reason to get there a day early! Get a head start with three Pre-Conference Workshops on Wednesday, November 5. These half-day, deep-dive sessions provide practical strategies you can implement right away.

Learn how to turn disposal costs into a new revenue stream, with Talia Stewart and Mike Preminger of Mill Market. Perfect for companies looking to capture more value from logs they’re already handling. Sponsored by Mill Market.

Hear directly from our panel of experts, including A300 committee members, and walk away with the know-how to align sales, crews and clients with consistent, professional standards.

Explore how to launch or scale a plant-health-care (PHC) program with expert insights from Joel Spies, Cory McCurry and Patrick Anderson, all with Rainbow Ecoscience, and Heather Dirksen, Canopy Service Partners. Sponsored by Rainbow Ecoscience.

Note: Pre-Conference Workshops require separate pre-registration.

Kick back at the Welcome Reception

After the first full day of learning and exploring, connect with peers at the Welcome Reception on Thursday, November 6 – sponsored by Vermeer. Enjoy live music by Steven Woolley, who brings an indie-rock vibe with a bluesy edge, plus light refreshments and a cash bar. It’s a relaxed, free way to kick off your TCI EXPO experience and build relationships that last long after the event.

Free to all registered attendees, the Welcome Reception will take place in the America’s Ballroom at the convention center from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m.
