The course was founded in 1993 by Tim Coss (Microtunneling Inc.), Levent Ozdemir (Ozdemir Associates), and Bernie Krzys (Benjamin Media/Trenchless Technology magazine) as the only affair concentrated on the then-emerging installation technology. It continues to be the most extensive gathering of microtunneling professionals globally. In 2023, the event attracted 166 attendees from five countries.
The registration is open now. Further information on the course is available here.
