We are delighted to confirm that our eagerly anticipated Annual Conference will be held at Doncaster Racecourse on 15th October.
This year’s overarching theme is: Harnessing the Power of the SME Community. We are planning a stellar line up of speakers not just from SMEs but also from those companies that rely on, and value the SMEs, they work with. SMEs have a huge contribution to make across every aspect of the railway and across all the key challenges we face – be that driving innovation, delivering great value or modernising our working practices.
Once again we will host a number of focussed sessions that will take us on a whirlwind tour with something for everyone no matter which part of the industry you are from. We also have some special activities planned – so watch this space as these unfold over the summer!
Confirmed speakers include:
- Richard Hastings, Nestle
- James McCaffery, Stadler
- Ian Evley, Innovate UK
- Robert Ampomah, Network Rail
- Kelly Warburton, GCRE
- Sam Kirk, J Flex
- Simon Burke, DBT
- Veronica Elena Bocci, ERCI
- Geoff Newman, TDI
- John Pearce, Made in Britain
