If you haven’t already done so, register for the HighwaysUK event now, which is running throughout the week of 2-6 November. As a virtual event, the activities will be available on demand two weeks post-event, so if you miss a session you have longer to catch up and connect with colleagues.

As part of TRL, we will be joining the wider team on the virtual booth, where experts across TRL will be available for meetings. Contact us now to book a bespoke demo with the Software team for any of our products during Highways UK.

In the meantime, take a look at some of the sessions TRL are running. You can book these sessions in advance, as soon as you have registered to attend.
