No-Dig North Call for Abstracts
Abstract Submittal Portal will open soon! Stay tuned!
The North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT) is excited to plan for the 2025 No-Dig North in Vancouver, BC. The conference will take place at the Vancouver Convention Centre on Octber 27-29, 2025.
Prospective authors are invited to submit a 250-word abstract outlining the scope of their paper and the principal points of benefit to the trenchless industry.
To ensure meaningful and commercial free technical content, all papers will be peer-reviewed. Final papers will be published on NASTT’s online trenchless library.
NASTT membership is not a requirement but you will need to create a user account in the NASTT system in order to submit your abstract.
For more questions about submitting an abstract, please contact Amy Shipp, NASTT Conference Program Specialist, at ashipp@nastt.org or 888-388-2554
