Why Exhibit at Parkex 2027
Public. Private. Parkex.
One show. Every buyer.
UK parking is bought by three groups: the local authorities setting enforcement, payment and kerbside policy, the operators running car parks day to day, and the landowners who own them. Parkex is the only UK parking event where all three come to buy, and it's owned by the British Parking Association, the profession's own membership body.
What Makes Parkex Your Best ROI?
41% public sector. 46% private sector. Both sides of the UK parking market in one room, and 82% of visitors make or influence purchasing decisions in their organisation.
The Whole Market, One Floor
Local authorities (41%), car park operators (31%) and landowners (15%) from retail, airports, venues, the NHS and universities.
The Profession's Own Event
Owned by the BPA, representing 750+ corporate and 650+ individual members. The BPA shapes the content and brings its members to the floor.
Senior Decision-Makers
32% of visitors are Directors, Heads of Service or Chiefs, and 81% engaged in purchase or project conversations with clear intent.
Qualified Lead Generation
19+ quality conversations per exhibitor on average over two days, with full contact export included in every stand package.

Visitors want to see and compare the physical kit.
"More parking related hardware and IT systems please... more ticket machine manufacturers would have been good."

Innovation & Emerging Tech
Visitors want to see what's next on the floor.
