About Rail Scotland Conference 2023
Dress Code: Business Wear
Now in its fourth year, the rebranded Rail Scotland Conference returns to Scotland to bring the key decision-makers from Transport Scotland, Network Rail and Scotland’s Railway together, to discuss Scotland’s key plans and offer the latest insight into their future plans.
There are many questions to be asked at the conference and lots of opportunities for the supply chain in Scotland’s quest to build a railway for the future, which include:
- How is the rail sector thriving with the new ownership of SRT?
- Is the network on track to achieve their net zero targets by 2035?
- Are they using utilising all alternative fuel sources are available?
- How can we encourage more passengers from road to rail?
Rail: Scotland Conference offers something for everyone, including opportunities to deliver technical presentations, exhibit in the networking zone, brand and attend.
