InfraTalk is back!
InfraTalk returns for another edition and offers online networking like no other! With Tier 1s, customers, clients, supply chain and key stakeholders present, this pure networking event provides barrier-free networking to engage with key individuals from the industry.
We have designed this event to maximise your networking and allow you to easily move around 300+ participants quickly and effectively. With just one VIP keynote speaker, there are no presentations to interrupt your networking, and no formal appointments needed!
Talking Project Affordability
The theme this year is Project Affordability. This is a front and centre concern for all major projects and with recent research from Infrastructure Client Group highlighting that typically rail projects have cost overruns of 43%, something that collectively we need to address.
Confirmed Keynote speaker:
We are delighted to have Sam Turner, Chief Financial Officer of East West Rail to open InfraTalk and speak briefly about what costs are driving infrastructure projects, what solutions there are to these, and critically, what can we do as an industry to change the affordability of projects?
Host Organisations – Coming soon!
We will be announcing a range of host organisations in due course and you can expect an array of key organisations including Tier 1s, major projects and of course Network Rail regions.
If you feel that you should be a host organisation, get in touch with Cat@Railforum.uk

“The Rail Forum event was a good opportunity to engage with a variety of suppliers. We really enjoyed the ‘speed dating’ style approach, and the platform was brilliant. Great engagement from the suppliers and we were able to hear about some very interesting products, services and solutions presented by some of the SMEs. A really well organised event that encouraged the start of bigger discussions.” Network Rail
