About Parkex
The UK's Parking Event, Owned by the Profession
Beyond Parking.
Parkex is the flagship annual exhibition and conference of the British Parking Association. It brings the brightest minds and most innovative suppliers in UK parking together with the local authorities, operators and landowners who buy from them.
Visitors get guidance on the issues that matter from BPA members and parking experts, and see how parking is being used to do more: encouraging healthier lifestyles, protecting the vulnerable and making travel inclusive for everyone.
