This year’s theme, Delivering value—where risk and opportunity converge reflects the realities of modern infrastructure delivery—where time, budget, and resources are limited, and risk must be managed, not avoided.
We’re inviting engineers, planners, project managers, and technical professionals across the transport sector to share how they’re delivering fit-for-purpose solutions under pressure. Whether you’ve led a project, developed a tool, or implemented a policy that balances performance and practicality, your insights can help shape the future of infrastructure delivery.
