About the Event

Critical Infrastructure UK is a new conference and exhibition dedicated to the future of the UK’s most essential operational estates, exploring the distinct but interconnected nature of emergency services, borders and protection infrastructure.

The event will recognise the different governance arrangements, policy frameworks and delivery models that exist across the four nations, while exploring the shared challenges the UK sector faces in delivering safe, secure and resilient infrastructure.

It will provide a dedicated space for the professionals planning, funding and delivering these assets to share knowledge, challenge thinking and connect with the private sector supply chain. 

An event website will launch soon. We are currently engaging with sector leaders and partners to help shape the programme.
