We proudly present recommendation from ISTT Executive Secretary Mr. John Castle.

The International Society for Trenchless Technology was introduced to SIBICO International in 2004 in response to an invitation to hold its annual conference and exhibition in Moscow in 2007. The SIBICO proposal was very professional and was expertly presented but, for strategic reasons, was not selected.
For 2008 SIBICO revised its proposal to run International No-Dig 2008 in conjunction with the Russian national water and environmental exhibition ECWATEC 2008. This was an innovative proposal which the ISTT recognised as presenting significant advantages because it would expose trenchless technologies to a far larger number of the public who might otherwise not know about them.
But it need careful preparation of the prices and exhibiting conditions which SIBICO was able to manage with skill and sensitivity and the decision was made to hold No-Dig 2008 in Moscow.
From that moment SIBICO became fully committed to the project and was a delightful partner to work with. Milestones were decided and were usually achieved ahead of time. Decisions on hotels which had direct subway connections to the Crocus Exhibition Centre were selected and travel agents were appointed. SIBICO formulated sponsorship packages and approached potential companies. At all stages the ISTT, as clients, were kept fully informed and involved. SIBICO prepared the Call for Papers and Registration documents, managed the receipt, peer review and selection of papers and informed speakers.
The event was held in Moscow 2 -6 June 2008 and was a considerable success. The ISTT was able to hold its Board Meeting and a formal dinner, and there was a social programme for the delegates and exhibitors which were beautifully organised and run.
I have no hesitation in recommending SIBICO International Ltd. to you for your conference and exhibition requirements. It is a trustworthy, professional and very efficient company.
