What's on - workshops, events and competitions

Upcoming events

As the nation’s leading highways business, we regularly host events to  connect with organisations operating in the infrastructure and  professional services supply chain.

We run face-to-face and online events where we inform, consult and  collaborate with suppliers - discussing sector challenges to find solutions and sharing information about our pipeline of work.

We also exhibit and participate in industry led conferences, exhibitions  and shows where we have the opportunity to talk to suppliers, stakeholders and road users about our work.


 

Microlise Transport Conference – 18 March 2025

Held at Coventry’s CBS Arena on 18 March, the Microlise Transport Conference is Europe’s largest road transport conference. It is a free-to-attend one-day event for those involved in the operation of a road transport fleet. It is attended by 1,200 logistics sector professionals and 50+ exhibitors, including National Highways. 

Our stand presence this year will focus on improving the safety of operating commercial vehicles, from vans to HGVs. Two-thirds of the miles driven by HGVs in England are driven on National Highways’ strategic road network. Also exhibiting will be National Highways Digital Lab.
