Preparations are currently underway for major regional and thematic events, which will culminate with the 5th edition of IRF’s flagship “Roads to Tomorrow” (R2T) conference in Phoenix, Arizona in November 2023. Two “Vision Zero” conferences, one each in the Balkans and the Middle East will seek to harness regional road safety efforts around sound road design and management practices. Finally, two regional conferences, held in Ghana and the Bahamas respectively, will endeavor to promote regional knowledge platforms supporting investments in sustainable and resilient road infrastructure.
Combined, these events will offer IRF members and road practitioners everywhere a valuable opportunity to present their work, develop key skillsets and expand their professional network. For the host countries, they also represent a chance to showcase national achievements and support the knowledge-sharing goals of the IRF, as the organisation enters its 75th year of existence.
