Technical visits

As part of the technical programme of the Congress, we are offering 16 technical visits, both to interesting road structures currently under construction or recently completed, and to structures built in the past that are unique because they represented European - or even world - excellence at the time they were built. These include bridges, the oldest of which date back to the 14th century.

The programme includes 5 half-day excursions in Prague, 9 full-day excursions in the Czech Republic and 1 excursion to Bratislava.

Exhibition

  • Congress Exhibition

An exhibition covering 3,000m2 will be held alongside the Congress. You will find over 300 public and private companies, as well as over 35 national pavilions, presenting their developments in the road sector.

  • Outdoor Exhibition

Our open-air exhibition area will allow exhibitors to showcase their demonstration cars, technology, machinery or heavy equipment, special materials or autonomous cars, for experts and the public alike!
