See you all in the classes and on the floor!

Me too, CTSP! I'm stoked.

Looking to share room

I just signed up. I'm looking for someone to share a room with since I'll be flyin' solo. I need a room from the 9th to the 12th.

 

[Blakesmaster]

Considering it. Kinda pricey but it looks like there will be some good classes.

I am considering taking my GM to the EHAP day. He's never been to one and I could use some brushing up. It's been a while.

Anyone have any comments on the class.?

I can't help much, it's been too long for me also.

I probably should go to it but not sure if I want the extra night in the hotel at $159. Eric and I will be there Thurs through Sat though. Specifically interested in the crane and rigging classes myself.

Does anyone have a link to the expo's website? I lost the brochure would like to go depending on the cost.

I think the early registration ends on Oct 8

Bummer ! No CEU's listed.

I might consider going, since I am sadly remiss on my CEU's for my ISA certification, and I might actually enjoy going. Does anyone know if they transfer to ISA?

Their website has this to say on the topic in the FAQ page:

"Can I earn CEUs at TCI EXPO?
Yes, over 60 hours of education will be offered during TCI EXPO. Check back at at later date for more details."

That is pretty weak, given that they are supposedly offering some educational seminars. I suspect that it boils down to conflict/cooperation with ISA since they are different trade organizations. Or perhaps they haven't figured out what the seminars will be? It seems hard to believe that they don't know what CEU's they will be offering on their own educational seminars.

This is the brochure:

The CEU's are on page 12

I had some trouble navigating the site also.

 

[squad143]

I'd like to but this is my busy time. Had a micro-burst blow through recently which added to an already busy schedule. Trying to get most jobs completed before the snow hits, but am telling customers that it may be spring before I can get to their trees.

For those going, enjoy the seminar. Wish I was there.

I think my wife and I are going to go. Would love to meet some of you!!!

 

[defensiblespace]

I'm solo and I have an extra bed available in my room which is booked from the 9th to the 12th at the William Penn Omni. Would love to share the room to split the cost if anyone is interested. Send me a PM.

4th in a row for me, tradeshow's alot better than ISA. Need CEUs for ISA and CTSP.

Also have a booth promoting the first ever North American Tree Conference and Climbing Competition in Savannah, GA Feb 19 -22, 2011. This is the official alternate for those that can't make Australia. Southern Chapter, UAA and SCA are co-hosting.

The Climbing Comp is ISA sanctioned with competitors from the US, Canada and Mexico expected. Come by the booth (where ever it is) and get some updates. The 2012 NATCC is already scheduled for Murfreesboro, TN in March.:rockn:

 

[Tree Machine]

Yaaa. I'll be there all three days.
