Untitled - No Dig Show
Who is NASTT?
Founded in June 1990, NASTT is a not-for-profit,
educational and technical society that is dedicated to
promoting the benefits of trenchless technology for
public awareness through education, training and
research. NASTT is North America’s definitive resource for
trenchless solutions to aging underground infrastructure
and the applications of trenchless technologies.
NASTT is your link to thousands of trenchless professionals and leaders working at the regional,
national and international levels. Membership is open to individuals, agencies and companies involved
with providing gas, water, sewage, communications and electrical underground services. NASTT is affiliated with the
International Society for Trenchless Technology (ISTT) and shares the same basic concerns for the environment and the
social costs of utility construction or rehabilitation.
NASTT has a network of 9 regional chapters and 13 student chapters throughout North America. The regional chapters
are the grassroots of NASTT, offering valuable educational and networking opportunities in your local area.

Why Exhibit at No-Dig?
NASTT’s No-Dig Show is one of the largest trenchless technology conferences in North America,
where professionals attend to learn new techniques that will save money and improve infrastructure.
The show provides attendees an opportunity to learn methods in technical sessions and talk to
vendors during exhibit hall hours about new products and equipment.
Over 1,600 attendees and 143 exhibitors attended NASTT's 2013 No-Dig Show. Exhibitors and
sponsors had the opportunity to meet with attendees on the show floor and network with potential
customers at multiple social events including NASTT's 13th Annual Educational Fund Auction and
NASTT's No-Dig Gala Awards Dinner.
We are very excited about holding NASTT’s 2014 No-Dig Show at The Gaylord Palms in Orlando, Florida. The facility

Exhibitor of record. The exhibit hall must be cleared of all exhibit materials by the end of the dismantle period.
