The Local Council Roads Innovation Group (LCRIG) has announced the eagerly anticipated 2024 dates for their flagship events, LCRIG Innovation and Learning Festival and Strictly Highways.
LCRIG Innovation and Learning Festival
Next year, the LCRIG Innovation and Learning Festival will take place from 01-03 July 2024, with some exciting changes including a brand new location!
As the LCRIG Innovation and Learning Festival continues to grow, LCRIG are excited to announce that next year’s event will be moving to NAEC Stoneleigh, Warwickshire.
Set in over 250 acres of picturesque countryside, NAEC Stoneleigh offers an extensive outdoor flexible space and unique off-road track. The new venue is also ideally, centrally located, just off the M40 and within 30 minutes drive of Birmingham and Coventry, with good road, rail and air access links.
This year’s Festival saw more than 600 people from 180+ organisations gather together over two days to explore the latest technologies from across the highways sector. Innovations in all shapes and sizes were demonstrated, giving attendees the opportunity to witness innovation in action.
Alongside the new venue, there will be more changes announced over the coming months. Although it will be music to your ears to hear that amazing street food and live music will still be on the menu! LCRIG will be announcing more details for next year’s festival soon.
Strictly Highways
Strictly Highways will return to its ancestral home at the iconic Winter Gardens in Blackpool, from 01-03 October 2024.
LCRIG’s flagship annual conference, exhibition, networking event and awards ceremony brings the highways community together and celebrates the amazing work that is taking place in our sector.
This CPD certified event provides an opportunity to learn about new innovations and technology, share experiences, receive updates from the DfT and network across the two days in the stunning and unique setting of the Ballroom at the Winter Gardens.
The Local Council Roads Innovation Group (LCRIG) is also proud to host the Special Recognition Awards on behalf of Department for Transport (DfT). Established by the late Steve Berry OBE, the Department for Transport’s former head of highways maintenance, innovation and resilience, the awards recognise companies and individuals who have gone the extra mile to deliver change in the sector.
