The Trees & Utilities conference, organized by the Utility Arborist Association (UAA) and the Arbor Day Foundation, marked its 25th anniversary in Ft. Worth, Texas. Utility vegetation management professionals from contracting companies and utilities nationwide came together to learn about new trends and best practice and connect with peers.
About 1,200 attendees had the opportunity to explore the trade show floor, listen and learn about UVM in educational sessions and network with one another. The event, which is growing each and every year, had the theme, "At the Intersection of Safety + Sustainability" for the 2024 conference.
The event included concurrent sessions on everything from wildfire mitigation to augmented and virtual reality. After attending the conference sessions, attendees were able to discover many of the technologies, products and services during the exhibitor breaks on the show floor.
