TRAFFEX 2023
Tuesday the 6th of June - Thursday the 8th of June, 2023
The Meon team was incredibly excited for the fantastic opportunity to exhibit once again at Traffex 2023, the UKโs biggest road and highways tradeshow, held at the NEC in Birmingham.
Traffex is considered the lead sourcing show for public and private sector buyers, within the road and highways sector. The focus for the event this year was on โconnecting the people and teams formulating the strategies and vision, that will define the future of the UKโs transport networkโ.
Alongside Traffex, Parkex was also co-located within the conference, providing visitors access to both shows with one ticket. This meant for a excellent opportunity to network with a larger audience, including parking buyers and expert BPA members.

Within each conference theatre there was a clear emphasis on the current external challenges, such as inflation and climate emergency, and what industry solutions and projects are being developed to help tackle these issues.
Our own campaign, Project Highways Zero, was featured on our exhibition stand. The PHZ campaign was designed to highlight the carbon emission reductions possible, whilst improving highway safety, durability, and sustainability, to help support the government decarbonization strategy and goal to reach net zero carbon usage, by 2050.
Given the prestigious guest speaker list, alongside the increasingly important topics of discussion, Traffex is a crucial industry event within the UKโs highway industry and was packed full of relevant informative value for professionals, within the UKโs Road and highways sector.
