Our flagship annual conference, networking event and DfT Special Recognition Awards ceremony, brings together the whole highways community and celebrates the amazing work that is taking place in our sector.
The event provides an opportunity to learn about new innovations and technology, share experiences, receive updates from the DfT and network across two days in the glittering setting of the Ballroom at the Winter Gardens.
It is important to us to ensure our events are accessible to the whole highways community. We do this by offering fully funded places for public sector delegates. Fully funded places include accommodation, transport to and from the hotel to the venue, catering and refreshments. This is funded by revenue generated through sponsorship and exhibitor sales.
And it works. Strictly Highways 2025 saw more than 500 delegates attend over the three days, with representation from more than 70 different highway authorities from across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as the Department for Transport (DfT), academia, industry associations, the supply chain and media.
Be Part of This Year’s Speaker Line-Up
We’re inviting local authorities and supply chain organisations to take centre stage at Strictly Highways and this year supply chain organisations can apply directly to speak, expanding opportunities to be part of the event programme.
Bringing together over 550 delegates from local highways authorities and the supply chain, the conference focuses on one critical question: How do we work together to deliver road networks that are greener, safer, resilient, and future-ready in the face of increasing pressure? Find out more
