Highways UK, taking place on 16-17 October, is the must-attend event for the highways and road infrastructure sector in the UK, featuring 10,000+ attendees, 375+ exhibitors, 300+ speakers and 40+ startups. The event is free to attend and is the place for market knowledge, innovation and new business for the entire value chain.

The highways sector needs to work together to deliver for customers and become smarter, greener, more efficient – and soon. That’s precisely why Highways UK is needed.

Working alongside National Highways and the Department for Transport as official partners, Highways UK covers the key topics, issues and concerns that matter to the future of transportation.

The supplier-led exhibition features the best of what the UK roads sector has on including Balfour Beatty, Tarmac, AtkinsRealis, Mott MacDonald, Arcadis and more. From the latest developments in construction equipment, connectivity, road surface treatments and intelligent transport systems, the trade show floor has something aimed at every level of the supply chain.

The high-level, multi-stream conference includes 10 theatres covering everything from digital construction, sustainable civil materials, research, policy, connectivity and data. In 2024, the keynote stage will feature senior leaders and ministers from across all 4 devolved administrations as well as National Highways, the National Infrastructure Commission and the leading contractors.

Innovation also takes centre stage at Highways UK through their Start-up Zone. Industry disruptors are given unparalleled exposure and networking opportunities with industry leaders, investors, and potential partners. Start-ups confirmed for this year include carbon monitoring software, smart wearable technology, e-mobility solutions and wall-climbing robotics.

New for 2024 is the Recruitment Zone, designed to address the critical talent and skills gap in the infrastructure sector. The Recruitment Zone will serve as a dynamic platform connecting leading industry employers with skilled professionals and emerging talent. Attendees can expect exclusive networking opportunities, on-the-spot interviews, and insightful career development sessions.

Highways UK 2024 is more than just a conference and exhibition; it’s a hub of inspiration, collaboration, and progress. We encourage all stakeholders in the highways and transportation sectors to join us for two days of invaluable insights, networking, and the chance to shape the future of UK infrastructure.
