Utility vegetation management has never been under more pressure. Wildfire seasons are longer and more severe, storm damage is more frequent, and the networks that have to be inspected keep growing, while the crews and budgets available to do the work stay flat.
Utilities across North America are being asked to prove clearance compliance, reduce ignition risk, and hold rates steady, all at once.
That is the conversation happening at Trees & Utilities 2026, and we will be there for it.
Hosted by the Arbor Day Foundation and the Utility Arborist Association, the conference runs September 22-24, 2026, at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon, bringing together more than 1,500 vegetation managers, utility arborists, contractors, and researchers.
It is the flagship annual gathering of the North American UVM community, and this will be our fifth year attending.
Advancing Utility Vegetation Management with Treeline
You will find us at Booth #425 at the north end of the exhibit hall, right by the main catering area. There we will be showcasing Treeline, our satellite-powered vegetation management platform, built to help utilities see, predict, and act on vegetation risk before it becomes an outage or an ignition.
With Treeline, vegetation management teams can:
- Detect encroachments and hazard trees automatically across the entire network, not just the spans a crew happened to reach this cycle
- Prioritize work with AI-driven risk scoring at span level, so the highest-risk circuits get attention first
- Move from calendar-based to condition-based cycles, trimming where growth and risk actually justify it
- Target wildfire mitigation using vegetation and fuel intelligence layered against local conditions
- Evidence compliance with map-based, audit-ready reporting that stands up to regulatory review
- Scale coverage across thousands of miles of line without adding field headcount
Built for utilities operating at scale, Treeline turns vegetation management from a manual, reactive process into a proactive, data-driven program: one that saves time, controls cost, and measurably improves safety. Stop by the booth and we will pull up your service territory and show you what it looks like from orbit.
Lunch Is on Us — Tuesday, September 22
We are a lunch sponsor at this year's conference. Lunch is served in the exhibit hall from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM on Tuesday, September 22, so bring your plate over to Booth #425 and let's talk vegetation risk, wildfire mitigation, and what satellite data can realistically do for your program.
Let's Connect in Portland!
You can find the LiveEO team at Booth #425 throughout the exhibition. They will be on-site across all three days for live demos, technical questions, and a straight conversation about where satellite intelligence fits into your vegetation program. Stop by for a coffee, pick up one of our custom LiveEO Lego kits, and let's build a smarter, safer grid together.
We look forward to seeing you in Portland.
