The exchange of information and knowledge is one of the most important ways NASSCO supports its mission to set industry standards for the assessment, maintenance and rehabilitation of underground infrastructure and to ensure the continued acceptance and growth of trenchless technologies.

This is accomplished through the dissemination of information to as many people as possible, including abstracts presented by industry professionals at large events.
NASSCO is currently soliciting calls for abstracts for two important 2017 events:

Technical Day at the 41st NASSCO Annual Conference, Feb. 13-16 in Naples, Florida. Presentations will be 20 minutes.

NASSCO’s Education Day at the WWETT Show, Feb. 22 in Indianapolis, Indiana. These will be 50-minute presentations.

If you have a presentation that could benefit others in the trenchless community, please submit your abstract by June 30, 2016. The deadline has been extended to allow submittal of a wide range of topics, resulting in quality presentations that deliver high value to each audience. Presentation topics may include pipeline cleaning, inspection, assessment, rehabilitation, new technologies, case studies, laterals, manholes and other related sewer and trenchless technology topics.

If you are interested in making a presentation at either event (or maybe both!), please submit an abstract, along with the speaker’s biography and the information below (all in MS Word format) to Lynn Osborn, NASSCO’s technical director, at technical@nassco.org. If there are multiple speakers, please submit items one through four for each speaker:

• Name and title
• Company affiliation
• Contact information (physical address, telephone number and email address)
• Brief speaker bio — 100 words maximum.
• Presentation title
• Abstract describing the presentation objective and content (200 words maximum)

Abstracts will be reviewed by the NASSCO technical director and, for NASSCO’s Annual Conference, the Technical Day Committee. Potential speakers will be notified of the status of their abstracts by July 29, 2016, for NASSCO’s Education Day at WWETT and by Aug. 31, 2016, for NASSCO’s Annual Conference. Speakers are required to pay all applicable conference registration fees and travel expenses.

For questions or additional information, please contact Lynn Osborn at technical@nassco.org. If you are not yet a member of NASSCO, visit nassco.org to apply.
