The Innovation & Learning Festival 2026 brought the highways community together for two action-packed days of innovation, learning and collaboration at NAEC Stoneleigh. From CPD-certified technical sessions and live demonstrations to new technologies, practical solutions and shared learning, the Festival showcased the ideas and expertise helping to shape the future of the sector.
To continue the learning beyond the Festival, we’ve brought together a library of videos capturing highlights and sessions from across the two days, providing a lasting resource for the highways community and an opportunity to revisit the ideas, insights and innovation shared at this year’s event.
