With 79,000+ kilometres of rail projects either planned or under construction, Asia Pacific is the most exciting rail market in the world. But whilst it is a land of opportunity, for those projects already operating, there are also challenges.
Over the last 21 years, Asia Pacific Rail has brought together more than 22,000 rail leaders from across the globe for the most exclusive and influential railway gathering in the region. 2019 was our biggest event ever, with 4 premium tracks of content, over 150 speakers (our largest ever faculty), 70+ sponsors and exhibitors and 2,000+ attendees.
But the industry is also changing as we enter a new digital era. So as Asia Pacific Rail enters its 22nd year, we’re making some changes too. We’re bringing you more rail operators, more content, more exhibitors, more networking and above all, more opportunities for you to do business.
Visionary keynotes will lay the foundations for two days of intensive learning, discussion and networking. Leading C-Level executives will share case studies from around the world, ensuring you can learn from the best of the best.
Plus, we’ve got a virtual exhibition floor, packed full of networking opportunities, on-floor presentations across multiple seminar theatres, product demonstrations and more.
Our 2020 virtual conference will bring more operator, authority and technology partner insights than ever before, covering the latest innovations in signalling & communications, asset management, passenger experience, rolling stock and new rail projects across the region.
Whether you’re a railway operator, railway authority or a solution provider to the global railway industry, join us virtually in November 2020 as we lay the foundations for Asia Pacific’s rail future.
