The international trenchless community is preparing to assemble in Madrid for the ISTT’s 32nd International No-Dig Conference and Exhibition, 13-15 October. This is the first time that the event has been held in Spain and is hosted by the Iberian Society for Trenchless Technology (IbSTT).
The conference programme has a reputation for delivering a high quality programme and this year will be no exception. Some 70 papers, presented by international experts from 20 countries will come together to present new innovations and to share experience of trenchless technology projects from around the world. The official language of the conference is English, but in order to attract a wider audience from the Iberian market, the third day of the programme will be dedicated to papers delivered in Spanish.
The exhibition will showcase a range of products and services from some of the major international players alongside many companies from Spain and overseas. In addition to the individual stands, national Pavilions are presented by Spain and Germany. Companies from UK, USA, Russia, Australia, China, Italy and Denmark will also be exhibiting.
Headlining the event sponsorship is, Catalana de Perforacion, a leading trenchless technology contractor based in Barcelona. Gold sponsorship is supported by Insituform and Vermeer. Silver sponsors are Aqualogy. Hobas and Grupo AAB are Bronze sponsors.
Many international delegates attending the conference look forward to sampling the local culture in Madrid and the Gala Dinner will be the social highlight of the event for networking with colleagues from around the world in a relaxed atmosphere. The venue is the Ballroom of the Círculo de Bellas Artes, a magnificent emblematic building located in Central Madrid. During the evening, the ISTT annual Awards will be presented and there will also be a display of local entertainment.
