Why Visit Parkex 2027
Two Days With the Whole Parking Market
Public. Private. Parkex.
Whether you set parking policy, run car parks or own the land they sit on, Parkex puts the suppliers, the practitioners and the conversations you need in one hall. It's the BPA's own event, and the one place where councils, operators and landowners meet in the same room.
19 to 20 May 2027, CBS Arena, Coventry. Free to attend.

What You'll Get From the Day
We asked 2026 visitors what they wanted more of: enforcement technology, equipment to compare side by side, software that integrates, and a look at what's next. Parkex 2027 is built around all of it.
See it working before you buy
The Exchange is new for 2027: an informal show-floor space for live product demonstrations, hands-on sessions and hardware in action.

The BPA's main stage: keynotes, policy updates including the Private Parking Code of Practice, and the big announcements for the sector.
Content built for your role

Parkex runs alongside Traffex and Cold Comfort, with EV Connect shared across the floor, so parking, highways, charging and winter service are covered in one trip.

I enjoy Parkex for the camaraderie, networking and support within the industry. It's a great chance to reconnect with friends and suppliers, meet new people, share ideas and learn from others who understand the sector.
