With less than one month to go and only a limited number of tickets remaining, now is the time to secure your place at the CIHT National Conference 2026.

We have extended the Early Bird price to ensure that everyone can book their place at the best price.

Taking place in London on 18 March 2026, this year’s theme — From Risk to Resilience — reflects a deliberately curated agenda shaped to address the sector’s most urgent priorities. Drawing on expert insight from across government, industry and academia, CIHT has carefully assembled a programme that responds directly to intensifying climate pressures, ageing infrastructure and evolving funding landscapes — providing not just discussion, but clear, strategic direction for transport leaders.
