Highways Development & Economic Growth Conference

Developing £25bn Worth of Highways Upgrades – Unlocking Multi-Billion £ Developments

Highways play a crucial role in driving economic growth across the UK, and there is a programme of work covering regional and national projects which will unlock new development opportunities, boost productivity and unleash the pent up potential of the UK. This conference is supported by Highways England and will highlight the investment being made by Highways England across the UK as they start a new 5-year investment programme in 2020. 

Councils, developers and landowners will present to the audience the clear opportunities created by the investment in roads across the UK and how the return is clearly quantifiable.

Through a series of exceptional panel discussions and gripping presentations we’ll uncover new insights from those at the forefront of the highways sector, and how through innovative new solutions, development and wider integrated infrastructure they’ll bring transformational growth to the UK economy.

Opening with a keynote speech from an influential figure we’ll soon delve further into the expertise of our panellists and utilise their knowledge to uncover insights and information which will be essential to your business within the next 5-10 years. We’ll hear from both sides of the spectrum – the public and private sector – to hear about the authorities’ and government’s national and regional aims, whilst also hearing about the commercial opportunities from those in the private sector and developers themselves. Sessions include:

  • Keynote Speech
  • Highways of the UK
  • Enhancing Infrastructure to Increase Growth
  • Developing Infrastructure in the Northern Powerhouse
  • The Future of Our Roads; What Lies Ahead?
  • Regional Perspectives; The Full Picture in the South
