The IRF 2026 Annual Conference will be held in Geneva from 16–18 November 2026 under the theme “The Road Ahead: Trust, Delivery and Innovation”. It will bring together the global road community, uniting decision-makers, industry leaders, international organisations and technical experts at the intersection of policy, practice and innovation. Over the three days, the conference will examine some of the most pressing questions facing the road sector today: how to build public trust, how to deliver more resilient, inclusive and financially viable road systems, and how to harness innovation to prepare roads for the future.
