Primary authors have been notified of acceptance for the 2025 No-Dig Show Technical Program.

The North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT) is excited to plan for its 2025 No-Dig Show in Denver, CO. The conference will take place at the Colorado Convention Center on March 30-April 3, 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. Abstracts must be submitted electronically by June 30, 2024. Abstracts submitted after the deadline will be considered for the standby list.

The NASTT 2025 No-Dig Show Technical Program Committee will review abstracts in July and notify the primary authors of acceptance in September. 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.
