Women in Transport at Highways UK 2026
Women in Transport is once again pleased to be a strategic partner of Highways UK as we look forward to launching our “Navigating Allyship in the Transport & Construction Industry” white paper at this year’s event with our partners FM Conway.
The event takes place at the NEC in Birmingham on the 14th & 15th October.
Highways UK brings together the people responsible for planning, developing, managing, maintaining, and future-proofing the nation’s roads networks. It is the UK’s leading event for the roads and transport sector, connecting the entire highways supply chain under one roof.
The event is a marketplace for innovation, policy, and partnerships, covering everything from major projects and asset management to digitalisation, safety, and future mobility. Through a major exhibition, high-level conference, and extensive networking, Highways UK is where the industry comes together to do business and shape the future of roads.
