The 21st annual Bridges conference and exhibition takes place on 10 April at the ICC in Birmingham.
Bridges 2013 will feature a series of high-quality presentations from top-level engineers, bridge owners and specialists in the industry; an exhibition showcasing technology and services specific to the bridge engineering and asset management sector.
For over 20 years, Bridges has driven the debate at the heart of the UK’s bridge community. In 2012, the remit of the conference was expanded to provide an additional international focus and engender a wider discussion.
In 2013 this high-profile conference and exhibition has been further expanded and improved and promises to be an informative and exciting event.
