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.
