Description:
The Annual Conference draws arborists and tree service professionals to network with colleagues, learn from industry experts on industry trends and issues and talk with vendors. New this year: An equipment expo!
This is an educational conference for the arborist community which offers diverse topics, exclusive time to explore innovative products/services, and plenty of time to talk and share your experiences with other arboriculture professionals from across the state.
Dr. John Ball will deliver the keynote address, "Arborist Safety: It's a Numbers Game," on Sunday, January 25 at the 2026 NYSA Conference & Expo. Arboricultural operations are among the highest risk occupations in the United States. While we represent less than 0.03% of the workforce, we are more than 1% of the fatalities. Dr. Ball's presentation will cover the most common incidents that occur to arborists, why they occur and more important, how to avoid becoming a number!
