Trenchless technology takes center stage this fall as the 2025 No-Dig North conference makes its highly anticipated return, this time with an international twist.

Set against the scenic backdrop of Vancouver, British Columbia, this year’s gathering is scheduled for Oct. 27-29 and will double as the International Society for Trenchless Technology International No-Dig conference, uniting global trenchless professionals under one roof.

A landmark event

For the first time, ISTT has partnered with No-Dig North to co-host its flagship event in Canada. This unique collaboration invites engineers, municipal officials, contractors and technology providers from around the world to share insights, advance the field and explore opportunities to address critical infrastructure challenges through noninvasive methods.

Where innovation meets application

At its core, No-Dig North is a hub for innovation. The conference will spotlight cutting-edge techniques in underground construction that reduce surface disruption, cut emissions and offer sustainable alternatives to traditional opencut excavation. Attendees can expect a dynamic mix of good practices courses, technical sessions and exposure to the latest and greatest products and services in the exhibit hall. 

Go-to event for networking and discovery

Beyond the sessions, the exhibit hall will be buzzing with activity. Dozens of manufacturers, service providers and innovators will be on hand to showcase the latest in trenchless equipment, services and digital technologies. Whether you’re seeking new tools, project partners or ideas to bring back to your organization, this is where connections are made and deals take shape.

A greener approach

Throughout the conference, sustainability will take a leading role. Trenchless methods are increasingly recognized as more eco-friendly options for modern infrastructure, preserving green spaces, minimizing community disruption and aligning with climate-conscious development goals. No-Dig North will shine a light on how these approaches are transforming urban and rural infrastructure projects alike.

Why you should be there

Whether you’re an engineer, municipal planner, environmental consultant or contractor, this is the premier event to stay at the forefront of trenchless advancements. It’s a chance to deepen your knowledge, expand your network and play a part in shaping the future of infrastructure, both in Canada and beyond.
