The 2nd 2462 IRF Middle East Regional Congress will be held from 29 November to 1 December at the 2507 Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), in the city of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

This special event is being convened under the Patronage of the Government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, including the association of all major agencies involved in roads and ground transportation, led by the Department of Municipal Affairs; 2508 Abu Dhabi Municipality; 2509 Al Ain Municipality; Western Municipality, and 2511 Abu Dhabi Police.

The event will be co-located and hosted in conjunction with the region's largest road sector exhibition, 320 Roadex-Railex 2010, for which IRF is an authorised exhibit sales agent.

Abu Dhabi is currently undergoing one of the fastest, most ambitious road and transport infrastructure expansions in the world. It is investing billions of dollars in road construction and upgrades, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), road safety improvements and new policies. This rapid expansion requires the participation and expertise of the global industry.

The congress will consist of executive and technical sessions focusing on best practice innovation and lessons-learned in the areas of road safety, ITS, pavements, public-private partnerships and financing, asset management, and environment and sustainability.

The event will also include a variety of prestigious IRF Certified Training workshops and courses, specially designed to meet the specific needs of Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, the Gulf and wider Middle East.

IRF invites you to be part of this exceptional event. As a speaker, sponsor, exhibitor, or delegate: there's something for everyone.
