The courses were originally developed by the North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT), but the material has been adapted to suit Australasian audiences.
No-Dig 2022 sold out
Organised in partnership with integrated marketing specialist Prime Creative Media and the Australasian Society for Trenchless Technology (ASTT), No-Dig Down Under is the Southern Hemisphere’s largest conference and exhibition dedicated to trenchless technology.
Taking place from 8 to 11 March 2022, the No-Dig 2022 exhibition will be held in Sydney’s International Convention Centre.
In addition to the exhibition, the event includes a three-stream conference program, training courses and social events, including the prestigious ASTT Gala Dinner and Awards Evening.
Prime Creative Media general manager for events Simon Coburn said both events partners are thrilled to be able to proceed with next year’s events following the relaxation of travel zones and restrictions.
“Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19 over the last 18 months, including having to postpone the event, the support from the industry has been overwhelming,” said Coburn.
“We’re looking forward to what is on track to be the biggest No-Dig Down Under in the event’s history.”
While exhibition opportunities have all sold out, prospective exhibitors can join a waitlist in the event a display space does become available.
