Roads Asset Management Summit 2021 | Aventedge | 25 February 2021 | Online

The job of managing roads assets is crucial to the functioning of society, which is why those responsible should have the latest information and insights at their fingertips.

Cue the Roads Asset Management Roadshow, an event that provides practical takeaways to help you improve the whole of life health of your road network by reducing costs, improving strategy, and utilising technology.
