Summer Conference


Discover the ultimate outdoor learning experience during the IAA summer conference! This event was designed to take full advantage of the season’s splendor, with a special focus on outdoor sessions. From Field Diagnosis of Abiotic and Biotic Diseases lead by Chelsi Abbott to Diagnosis of Insects and Mite Pests lead by Dr. Fredric Miller, there is no better way to learn than by seeing it for yourself.  Also, learn an Overview of Advanced Tools and Methods used for Tree Risk Assessment lead by Aaron Schulz and Steve Lane.  Then step indoors to cool off and learn about Lab Techniques for Disease Diagnosis lead by Dr. Stephanie Adams.  The day will then wrap up with Analysis and Discussion about the Tree Risk Assessment Findings Exercise!  

Don’t miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to expand your knowledge, network with like-minded professionals, and gain practical skills while enjoying the outdoors!
