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.

All empty crates and cartons must be properly identified to facilitate their delivery by the Contractor at the close of the show. The exhibit facility does not provide a storage service for "empties" but will maintain a janitorial service of the aisles, entrances and exits in the exhibit area. SELLING ON THE SHOW FLOOR Exhibitors are strictly prohibited from selling anything for cash or credit on the show floor. Exhibitors which may practice this type of activity will be subject to dismissal from the show.

The Exposition Management shall have the right to prohibit any exhibit which in their opinion is not suitable to the character or purpose of the Exposition and shall be modified by request of the Exposition Management. The exhibitor may attract attendees into the booth by use of demonstrations and activities which encourage visitation to his booth. The Exposition Management and the Conference Sponsor, while encouraging such activities, request the consideration of fellow exhibitors and the maintenance of an atmosphere which allows all participants to conduct business discussions without the interruption of activities which encourage booth visitation. Visitors to the booth in quantities must be contained within the booth to allow aisles to be free from interruption of flow through the Show and allow easy evacuation in the event of an emergency.

Materials left in the booth after the show not packed/crated or covered by a bill of lading for shipment will be packed, shipped or stored at the discretion of the Official Contractor and all expenses will be charged to the Exhibitor of record. The exhibit hall must be cleared of all exhibit materials by the end of the dismantle period.
