With proposed changes to the rail sector, ensure you are up to date on what reforms would mean for the freight industry. This annual conference for the rail freight community will provide you with the latest updates on the changes to the industry, as well as the opportunity to network with senior rail freight professionals. Attend to explore the biggest issues and the opportunities for the sectors, including a focus on devolution and decarbonisation.

Why should I attend?

Join operators, rail freight customers, and ports to explore rail reforms and how the sector should respond. Hear the latest updates from operators, and consider the opportunities further devolution creates for freight, including talks from transport authorities on their plans.
