We are delighted to confirm that our 2025 Annual Conference will be held on 9th October at Doncaster Racecourse. Members can expect a series of high-profile speaker sessions, an Expo and Drinks Reception.
Once again, we will host a number of focused sessions that will take us on a whirlwind tour with something for everyone no matter which part of the industry you are from. Welcoming key speakers from both within and outside of rail we will be looking to the future. What can we learn from other industries? How will all things digital impact rail for the better? And what challenges will that bring?
To help with transport and logistics the event will start at 10.00 and will run through to early evening finishing with a drinks reception.
