Attend UK Rail 2010 for your opportunity to be at the forefront of policy and strategy. If you are a senior-level decision maker working directly, or indirectly, in any area of the UK Rail sector, then this industry-leading conference is a key priority for you this year.


UK Rail 2010 prides itself on being the UK's only event to succeed in bringing together the key organisations and agencies that comprise the rail industry. This is your opportunity to be at the forefront of policy:

- Investigate new investments in our rail infrastructure that will help the development of our economy

Explore, understand and discuss

Setting the tone throughout the day will be the keynote presentations from:

Taking place in the impressive QEII Conference Centre, join your peers to hear these leading figures discuss the issues, challenges and pressures involved in transforming the UK’s rail infrastructure.

A late morning panel discussion will focus on innovations and new developments in policy and practice – providing you with an opportunity to ask questions at the end.

 

Great networking opportunities

You’ll also be able to share your concerns, experiences and ideas with other delegates, all of whom are facing the same or similar challenges. There are coffee breaks throughout the day with an hour for lunch, providing you with plenty of time to discuss the day’s events.

 

Vibrant and interactive breakout sessions
