Deadline Nears to Submit Abstracts for the 2017 Trenchless Technology Road Show
The inaugural Trenchless Technology Road Show sponsored by CATT, Benjamin Media and NASTT-BC exceeded expectations. The 2015 show, held in Vancouver Nov. 17-19, included a sold-out exhibit hall and live demonstrations by Canadian Induracoat Corp. and Inserta-Tee. The Trenchless Technology Road Shows allow participants to network with a cross section of professionals throughout the industry.
The deadline to submit abstracts for consideration to be part of the 2017 Trenchless Technology Road Show in Vancouver (Richmond), British Columbia, Canada is Nov. 4.
The biennial Trenchless Technology Road Show is a partnership between Benjamin Media Inc. (publisher of Trenchless Technology and Trenchless Technology Canada) along with the British Columbia chapter of the North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT-BC) and the Centre for Advancement of Trenchless Technologies (CATT). The show will take place Sept. 25-27, 2017, at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel in Vancouver (Richmond), British Columbia.
This show follows on the inaugural 2015 Trenchless Technology Road Show in Vancouver, that attracted more than 250 attendees, 40 exhibitors, live demonstrations and two full days of state-of-the-art technical presentations.
