The Planning Committee has been hard at work getting the speaker/topics evaluated and completed to make this Conference an Educational Experience for those that deal with Vegetation Management issues on a daily basis. We are in the process of confirming on the selected speakers. Once those are confirmed the agenda will be added to the website.
