No-Dig 2020 Postponed Due to Coronavirus
(UC) — The NASTT 2020 No-Dig show in Denver, Colorado has been postponed amid concerns over the coronavirus pandemic as countries around the world close gathering places and restrict meetings of large groups.
With the full impact of the coronavirus pandemic impossible to predict, NASTT has not provided any information on when, or if, the show would be held later this year.
Following is a statement released from the group:
Due to the COVID-19 response situation going on throughout the United States and Canada, NASTT must unfortunately announce the postponement of the 2020 NASTT No-Dig Show, originally scheduled for April 5-9 in Denver, Colorado.
Despite our best efforts to keep things running as scheduled, the Colorado Convention Center has been instructed to cancel all events through mid-April, which unfortunately includes our planned conference. Further, space for our conference to be held later this year at the Denver Convention Center is not currently available. For these reasons we are beginning to look at alternatives to bring you a memorable and valuable trenchless event, in this, our 30th year of trenchless education.
“Our community has experienced significant impacts over the past few weeks which have escalated in the last 72 hours and include corporate travels bans, government travel bans, venues closing, and public events and gatherings postponed in order to protect the health and wellness of our citizens.
We are confident that we will be able to switch gears and make alternate arrangements for the 2020 NASTT No-Dig Show and we look forward to communicating these changes to you in the coming days and weeks.”
