Back as an in-person event, Highways UK is one of the highlights of the highways industry’s calendar. It will be attended by those responsible for planning, developing, managing, maintaining, and future-proofing the nation’s roads networks.

The agenda is of particular importance this year, as we will discuss the importance of the government’s Build Back Better and Transport Decarbonisation plans, as well as the implications of discussions at COP 26 on the highways industry.

Burges Salmon is pleased to be exhibiting and speaking again this year as gold partners of the event. Our focus will be on decarbonisation, investment and connectivity, and our confirmed speaking slots at Highways UK are set out below.

Our exhibition stand

As part of our commitment to be a Net Zero business by 2026, our exhibition stand will not have the typical (disposable) give-aways. Instead, we will be planting trees for every new connection our attendees make on LinkedIn. You can help us plant trees by meeting our team (below) at stand J90 across the two-day conference.
