Traffex 2027 Content

Four Themes. One Question: How Do You Deliver?

Roads. Reality. Results. From Strategy to Street Level.

Every Traffex 2027 session, across both theatres, sits under one of four themes. Each one takes a live, unresolved tension in the sector and asks the question practitioners actually need answered: not what's the strategy, but how do you deliver it on your network, with your budget, this year.

Full agenda and speaker line-up coming soon

The Four Themes

Each theme runs across both The Roadmap Theatre and The Exchange, so however you like to take your content in, structured or informal, you won't miss the conversations that matter to you.

Theme 01

The Delivery Gap

Closing the space between what's promised and what gets built.

RIS3's funding, the two-tier road network, frameworks, major projects and devolved powers. This is where national ambition gets tested against what local authorities and contractors can actually deliver.

RIS3 & funding Frameworks & procurement Devolution Major projects
Theme 02

Zero Harm, Real Progress

Are we actually getting safer, or just saying we are?

The Road Safety Strategy, casualty data, vulnerable road users and work-related risk. A live, unresolved tension for the sector: the government's own zero harm target has just moved from 2040 to 2050.

Theme 03

Roads, Rewired

AI, data and connected technology are changing what a road even is.

Digital twins, connected vehicles, automated passenger services and signal obsolescence. The infrastructure underneath the industry is being rebuilt, this is where you see it happening in practice, not in theory.

Theme 04

Built to Last

What it takes to run a highways business built for the next decade.

Succession, workforce wellbeing, compliance and business support, alongside the peer networking that keeps the sector connected. The theme for anyone running, not just working in, a roads business.

Succession & workforce Wellbeing Compliance Peer networking

Where to Find Them

All four themes run across two theatres, each with its own format.

The Roadmap Theatre

Structured sessions built for local authorities, Tier One contractors and traffic management companies. Planning-led, with budgets, frameworks and case studies drawn from real projects.

The Exchange

A more informal space for live product demonstrations and hands-on technology sessions.
