We are delighted to return to a face-to-face format this year for this much anticipated event on the rail industry calendar.
Our world changed in 2020 and so did the way we all do business. Rail kept Australia moving, despite the challenges of border closures and increased demands on our supply chain.
This year’s conference provides an opportunity to celebrate those achievements. I have no doubt AusRAIL PLUS 2021 will be an event to remember, providing the first opportunity for many of us to come together since 2019. With a wide range of social events on offer as part of the program, this is a not-to-be missed opportunity to reconnect with industry colleagues.
We have been working hard behind the scenes to deliver outstanding content so you can make the most of your AusRAIL PLUS experience in Brisbane. Our three-day event features an extensive program developed following member feedback and includes valuable panel discussions with key rail decision-makers.
AusRAIL PLUS gives the entire industry – from stakeholders to suppliers – a chance to network, collaborate and trade. There’s been strong demand for exhibition space this year as the industry prepares to showcase rail’s resilience, innovation and achievements.
I encourage you to join us at AusRAIL PLUS this year and look forward to seeing you all at the event.
Yours sincerely,
Caroline Wilkie Chief Executive Officer, Australasian Railway Association
