Universal HDD at the 2026 HDDA Fall Conference — Great People, Great Conversations!

What a great few days in Texas!

The Universal HDD team was happy to be part of the 2026 HDDA Fall Conference, held November 4–6 at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa in Bastrop, Texas.

Organized by the Horizontal Directional Drilling Association (HDDA), the conference brought together HDD contractors, equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and industry professionals who share a passion for moving the horizontal directional drilling industry forward.

For us, events like this are about much more than business. They're about connecting with the people behind the projects, exchanging real-world experiences, sharing ideas, and building relationships that make our industry stronger.

It was a pleasure to catch up with familiar faces, meet new people, and spend time with professionals who understand the challenges and opportunities of HDD firsthand.

A big thank you to the HDDA team for bringing the industry together and creating such a welcoming environment for meaningful conversations, learning, and networking.

And to everyone we had the chance to connect with — thank you for the great conversations and positive energy!

At Universal HDD, we believe that progress comes from collaboration, innovation, and listening to the people who work in the field every day. Events like the HDDA Fall Conference remind us just how valuable this community is.

We're looking forward to staying connected, continuing the conversations, and seeing everyone again at future industry events.

Until next time, HDDA!
