“A fool is someone who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing”. Oscar Wilde
We are delighted to confirm that our eagerly anticipated Annual Conference will be held at the ICC, Birmingham on 17th October.
The focus for this year’s Conference will be Creating and Adding Value. We frequently talk about the need to focus on value rather than cost and that’s exactly what our conference will do. Moving the dial and discussion on from ‘price’ to deepen our collective understanding of how we add ‘value’ through the many contributions we make.
With dedicated sessions considering the role of the private sector, freight, exports, SME’s and much more our expert speakers and panellists will share their insights and views with our 400 strong audience.

All Rail Forum members are entitled to ONE FREE PLACE and we would strongly encourage you to ensure you are represented. Silver, gold and patron members are entitled to additional places depending on their grade of membership. Early booking is recommended so we can ensure we are able to accommodate as many people as possible.
