2026 MAC-ISA Annual Meeting and Trade Show
The MAC-ISA Annual Meeting & Trade Show is the premier gathering of tree care professionals in the Mid-Atlantic, held each year in early October. This multi-day conference brings together arborists, industry leaders, educators, and exhibitors for professional development, networking, and the latest insights in arboriculture. Attendees can earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to maintain their professional certifications while participating in a diverse lineup of educational sessions.
The conference begins on Sunday with the annual Motorcycle & Sports Car Ride for Research, benefiting the TREE Fund. This popular event offers a fun way to connect with colleagues while supporting research and education that advances the tree care industry. Also on Sunday, Trees Fredericksburg will host its Fall Native Plant Festival from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. at the adjacent Fred Nats Stadium, 42 Jackie Robinson Way, Fredericksburg, Virginia. Attendees can enjoy the festival and explore native plants before Annual Meeting activities get underway. Purchase tickets online here!
On Monday, attendees enjoy opening remarks, inspiring plenary presentations, concurrent educational sessions, plus a Welcome Reception and Silent Auction, providing opportunities to learn from industry experts and reconnect with peers.
The conference concludes on Tuesday with the MAC-ISA Business Meeting, Awards Ceremony, and additional educational sessions covering timely topics, emerging trends, and practical solutions for today’s tree care professionals. Whether you’re looking to expand your knowledge, earn CEUs, discover new products and services from leading vendors, or build valuable professional connections, the MAC-ISA Annual Meeting & Trade Show offers an exceptional experience for everyone in the arboriculture community.
