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.
This year we are introducing our ‘Annual Conference Expo’ which provides excellent promotional opportunities for those members that are seeking to promote their brand, new products or services and their capabilities. Patron and Premium members are entitled to a complimentary stand and there is a small charge of only £400+VAT for Standard members. Further details are available from Karen and the form to book your stand space is here.

Early booking is recommended so we can ensure we are able to accommodate as many people as possible.
