Traffex will also host over thirty free-to-attend seminars, providing a platform for today's transport issues to be discussed. New for 2017, the Highways and Transport theatre will tackle some of the industry's key operational challenges while the Traffex theatre will present a series of high-level, thought leadership style presentations for those developing strategies and an alternative take on the sector. Covering a range of subjects from funding and devolution to highway maintenance and innovation, attendees will gain an exclusive insight into a number of key issues facing the sector across the two theatres.

Across the three days, a range of impressive speakers will share best practice and give advice on a new way of thinking on both strategic and operational issues. High-profile keynote speakers at the conference include Jim O’Sullivan, CEO of 8101 Highways England – who will be examining the future challenges and opportunities of the strategic network – and Rupert Clubb, president of ADEPT, giving his professional insight into the future of the highways infrastructure.

Co-located with Traffex will be the dedicated parking exhibition, Parkex 2017. The British Parking Association (BPA) event will provide a meeting point for the industry’s largest suppliers and a platform for leading parking brands to launch their latest innovative products, technologies and services. Visitors will find an abundance of knowledge, research and experience through the extensive programme of seminars and presentations.
