About the conference

New Civil Engineer Airports Conference is where the people behind that work meet. Clients, engineers, contractors, consultants and suppliers come together for a day of frank, technical conversation about how the pipeline gets built.

Why attend

Hear from the clients delivering the pipeline. Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and other UK airports are moving into design and delivery. Find out what they need from the supply chain, and when.

Learn from projects that have already been built. International case studies, from Quito’s terminal and apron expansion to major hubs in Europe and North America, show how others have added capacity while keeping airports running.

Get to grips with the hard problems. Building next to a live airfield, surface access, carbon, airspace, skills and supply chain capacity are all on the programme.

Meet the people you want to work with. Operators, contractors, consultants, suppliers and policymakers in one room for a day.

Earn CPD points from a technical, practitioner-led programme.

Stay for the awards. The day ends with the NCE Airports Awards, celebrating the best in aviation infrastructure.
