exeCUtIve dIReCtOR’s RePORt October 2010 - Trenchless International 8 John Hemphill Istt Executive Director The OcTOber ISSue of Trenchless International is the final of the 2010. When this issue arrives, many of you will be off to Singapore to participate in the 28th Annual International No-Dig Conference and Exhibition. And what an event it promises to be. The Singapore No-Dig is shaping up to exceed the goals we set for it. Early registrations are above plan, as are exhibit space commitments. Attendees from every part of the world complement the strong showing of participants from Singapore, Malaysia, China and other countries in the region. We will end the year on a high note. Indeed 2010 has been a very successful year for the international trenchless community. In 2010, we will have added four new Affiliated Societies, significantly broadening the education and training reach of our Society. The first to join in 2010 was the Colombia Society (CSITT). Shortly after joining ISTT, CSITT hosted its first No-Dig in Cartagena on 3–4 June. ISTT Vice Chairman Samuel Ariaratnam and I were delighted to participate in this inaugural event. In September, Yasin Torun, Chairman, and Ahmet Gulec, Vice Chairman of the Turkish Society (TSITT) travelled to London to sign an affiliation agreement with ISTT. The Turkish trenchless society believes that the demand for trenchless methods in their region of the world is huge. The China Society (CSTT) and the Singapore Society (SgSTT) are set to join ISTT officially at the Singapore No-Dig conference. The addition of these two societies, in a very dynamic region, is a real plus for trenchless. All told, ISTT will welcome the New Year with 26 Affiliated Societies as members of the global trenchless community. The ISTT Board of Directors will meet in Singapore to map out future directions of ISTT. This meeting marks a milestone as we welcome Sam Ariaratnam as Chairman, replacing Dec Downey who has completed his three-year term as Chair. Derek Choi will become the new Vice Chairman. ISTT also will elect new members to the Executive Subcommittee – the management team of ISTT. Dec will remain active with ISTT in his capacity of Immediate Past Chairman. Under Dec’s leadership, ISTT added new members, hosted and co-hosted successful No-Digs and regional training seminars, and restored the financial health of the Society. The new leadership will doubtlessly wish to build on the successes of the past few years, while at the same time expand the efforts of ISTT in support of Affiliated Society programs and worldwide growth in the application of Trenchless Technology. I am sure Sam Ariaratnam will have more to say about the future direction of ISTT in his Chairman’s report in the January 2011 issue of Trenchless Technology. The No-Dig schedule institutes a goal of ISTT championed by Sam Ariaratnam to keep the event fresh and exciting by rotating the venue geographically among Europe, the Americas and Asia. The 2011 No-Dig, hosted by the German Society (GSTT), will be held in Berlin, 2–5 May. It is hard not to be excited about the Berlin 2011 No-Dig, which will be held in conjunction with the well regarded Wasser Berlin show. GSTT has begun accepting proposals for papers for presentation at the conference. Based on quality of these abstracts, we have reason to believe that the 2011 No-Dig conference will be of the highest technical quality. The combination of a strong technical conference in concert with Wasser Berlin makes the 2011 No-Dig a “must attend” conference for our industry. The Brazilian Society (ABRATT) will host the 2012 No-Dig. The 2012 No-Dig will be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil in mid-May. The Sao Paulo No-Dig will mark the first International No-Dig to be held in South America. The venue for the 2013 No-Dig has not yet been determined. However, in keeping with ISTT’s policy of rotating No-Dig geographically, we anticipate this No-Dig will take place in Asia or the Pacific Rim. ISTT has had a banner year – a highly successful No-Dig, and a growing and diverse membership base – and the future looks equally bright. See you in Singapore!
