More than 90 exhibitors, roughly 2000 of the nation’s best arborists and five full days of the latest tree equipment, diagnostics tools, herbicides and fertilizers, climbing gear, and just about everything tree care you can imagine. Only 12 days until Vermeer takes center stage at ISA 2015.
Held August 8-12, 2015 in Kissimmee, Fla. (Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center), ISA’s Annual International Conference and Trade Show is the world’s premier gathering of arboricultural professionals, where practicing arborists and urban foresters come together with top researchers and educators to learn the latest in research, technology and innovations in arboriculture and urban forestry.
But before you make your way to Kissimmee or plan to follow the show from afar, here are 7 things you should know about ISA 2015.
- Create a plan of attack. Attendees can make efficient use of their time onsite by using the interactive online exhibitor directory (with show maps) and the ISA scheduling app to create a personalized itinerary of the show. Make sure to mark your favorite booths and stop by to see us (Vermeer is in booth 313)!
- Stay up to date with Vermeer. Connect with Vermeer Tree Care on Facebook for Vermeer ISA 2015 updates on a range of activities, from educational sessions to entertainment. Check out what’s going on!
- Know when to arrive. Show hours are: Saturday, August 8, 2015, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; August 9, 2015, 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; Monday, August 10, 2015, 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Tuesday, August 11, 2015, 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.; and Wednesday, August 12, 2015, 7:30 a.m.-3:45 p.m.
