Don't just take our word for it.....

I had a great day at the Emerging Professionals Conference. All the speakers gave interesting talks on topics that differed to what I do on a day to day basis. I also had the chance to meet other emerging professionals and learn what their job involves. It was interesting to see that even though we all work in the same industry, the scope of what we all do at work is so varied.

— Jemima Odom

The Emerging Professionals Conference is an excellent opportunity to network and collaborate with colleagues at similar stages in their careers, to discuss current and future trends within the industry. Focusing on an audience of emerging professionals allows everyone, regardless of experience, to feel confident participating and gain real value from the speakers and breakout sessions. I would recommend this event to anyone working within the industry who is eager to attend a well run, informative and engaging conference within Highways.
