About WMC

TCIA’s Winter Management Conference is the tree care industry’s premier conference for professionals to connect with fellow leaders, participate in roundtable discussions and hear from world-class business speakers.

Take the time to grow your leadership skills, connect with industry peers from across the U.S., and enjoy the stunning sand and surf in Barbados! This year we come together at the new exclusive Hilton Barbados Resort to provide solutions to your business challenges in today’s tough economy.

Featuring keynote speaker Liz Wiseman, one of the top leadership thinkers in the world! Liz teaches leadership to executives and emerging leaders and is the bestselling author of Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter.

We are excited to announce our new Robert Felix Memorial Fishing Tournament and the return of the ASTI exclusive sit-down dinner and auction at the most picturesque location in Barbados. Don’t miss out on these exclusive events designed to support advancing the green industry through educational, safety, and professional development programs.

WMC is home to two important fundraising events critical to the future of the industry – the TCIAF Robert Felix Memorial Fishing Tournament, and the ASTI Dinner and Auction.

This year, the Robert Felix Memorial Tournament is back – with a twist. We are capturing the spirit of this great competition by hosting the first-ever fishing tournament at WMC 2023 to support the industry. By catching up with a team for a day of stress-free fishing, sponsoring part of the tournament, or simply learning a little more about what Robert Felix means to our industry, you will be supporting the mission of the TCIA Foundation and contributing to increased safety in tree care. REGISTER HERE.

Another opportunity to support the industry takes place at the always-popular ASTI Dinner & Auction, one of WMC’s signature events. Come network with the best of the industry at this exclusive sit-down dinner and live auction. All proceeds benefit the Arborist Safety Training Institute (ASTI), which works to bring quality, local and affordable safety training to working arborists. You can register for the dinner and auction here, and if you are interested in donating an item, please send a note to Aiden O’Brien aobrien@tcia.org.

The Tree Care Industry Association Foundation (TCIAF) is dedicated to advancing the green industry through educational, safety, and professional development programs. Learn more about our mission and what you can do to help improve safety in the tree care industry.

Each year we focus on business topics that are relevant to you, and this year is no different! Join us as we welcome new speakers and bring back past favorites. Topics will include safety and leadership, business processes, brand messaging, and more! We are glad to offer CTSP and ISA CEUs to all eligible sessions. Please be sure to check the Education and Networking pages in the coming weeks for information about CEUs.

For nearly ten years, TCIA has been running our annual “Give Back” campaign at Winter Management Conference in February. In case you’re unfamiliar, TCIA partners with a local school and encourages WMC attendees to bring much-needed donations of school supplies.
