about arborfest
for tree people
by tree people
Not a trade association. Not a marketing department. ArborFest started because this industry deserved better training, better standards, and an event worth taking three days off for.
why we do it
Three ideas the whole event is built on.
Everything else is logistics.
EDUCATION FIRST
Every session is included in the ticket. No session fees, no paywalled workshops, no reason for a crew member to sit one out.
HANDS ON THE EQUIPMENT
Indoor and outdoor exhibits so you can climb the ropes and run the machines instead of reading a spec sheet in a carpeted hall.
PRICED FOR CREWS
Third year at $129, with crew discounts on top. If a company can't afford to send its whole team, we've failed at the point.
the short version
how we got here
ArborFest begins, bringing the tree care community together around education and industry connection.
Noble Oak Safety & Training takes over management of ArborFest, with a focus on expanding education, hands-on experiences, and industry participation.
1,711 attendees. 99 exhibitors and sponsors. 43 sessions. ArborFest welcomes tree care professionals from 43 states and 6 countries.
More education. More outdoor learning. More opportunities to get hands-on and connect with the people and companies moving tree care forward.
