MAPEI Canada
Tunnelling Association of Canada Conference
Event Details
The Tunnelling Association of Canada (TAC) invites you to our rescheduled conference TAC 2020/21 Toronto: Vision Underground. While the worldwide impacts of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic necessitated a change in conference timing – now planned for October 19-21, 2021 – the extra time available to organize and prepare will help ensure that TAC’s next conference will be the biggest and best ever!
With an emphasis on the Future of Tunnelling, the TAC 2020/21 Toronto conference program is unchanged from that originally planned and will continue to include plenary presentations, technical sessions and a trade exhibition, all designed to highlight advancements in tunnelling design, construction and delivery – in Canada and around the world.
