Why exhibit at the IAA 27th Annual Conference and Trade Show?  Our show promises to be better than ever, for our informative and diverse conference program is drawing interests of arborists throughout the state of Illinois.  This is evident in our early registration totals. We distributed trade show registration forms during last years show and spacing is selling fast.  If you have not sent in your registration form to secure your prime location, please do so now.  Other perks of the show:

  • “Live Tree Demonstration” in center of exhibit hall

  • Now that the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is in our back yard more and more arborists are attending to get the latest news and information. 

  • Special guests like Senator Durbin have dropped into the show for a surprise visit and to update our members about state funding for EAB.   

  • Hands-on Bark Peeling in the exhibit area.

  • Lunch for attendees is served in exhibit area on both days

  • Tree Fund Raffle in exhibit hall on first day to keep attendees for      networking

  • Classrooms adjacent to exhibit hall

  • Hospitality room open during and after set-up time
