About the event
Highways KSA runs from 23 to 25 November 2026 at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Center in Riyadh. It brings the highways and transport infrastructure supply chain together to discuss the long-term strategic vision for the Kingdom's road network at a time when major projects are reshaping the sector.
The exhibition hosts more than 250 exhibitors and several international pavilions, giving suppliers a place to launch products, form partnerships and meet decision-makers. The conference features more than 200 speakers in keynotes, fireside chats and panel discussions on highway maintenance, project financing, public-private partnerships, bridges and tunnels, road safety, artificial intelligence and sustainability.
The event is a business-to-business show for professionals, industry representatives and invited guests working in roads, infrastructure, construction, engineering and transport, and is not open to the general public. Advance registration is required. The event pass is free and covers the exhibition and the conference, and it also admits visitors to MOVE Riyadh, held at the same venue over the same three days, while a paid premium networking pass adds one-to-one meetings and further benefits.
