This year\u2019s event will feature three separate conference stages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rail Operations<\/li>\n<li>Rail Infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>Rail Decarbonisation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to provide one meeting place to connect and share the common experiences and learnings needed to meet the future demands of a transitioning industry and showcase the many exciting advancements and success stories to date,\u201d said Tina Karas, Connect Rail\u2019s program director.<\/p>\n<p>The first release of speakers featured representatives from; ONRSR, Sydney Metro Authority, City Rail Link Ltd, Aurizon, Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, Rio Tinto, Pacific National, Jacobs, Aurecon, and more, while Alstom, Westermo and DIGAS have joined the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>All three conference stages, the exhibition, and the recharge station will all be on one floor, providing a seamless movement between experiences, opportunities to network, and those chance meetings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we might have changed the way we learn and travel since the pandemic, the power of meeting all the right people and in the right place is only stronger. It\u2019s sometimes those serendipitous meetings that lead to a breakthrough or those face-to-face exchanges with people you\u2019ve been emailing all year that finalise agreements and we wanted to create an atmosphere that was conducive to selective and superior networking.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we have all three conference stages on the same floor as the exhibition area. We didn\u2019t want people to lose time and miss opportunities by walking back and forth across multiple spaces,\u201d Ms. Karas added.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Further speakers and more will be announced shortly. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/connectrail.com.au\/?utm_source=Partner&amp;utm_medium=Online%20Ad&amp;utm_content=Article&amp;utm_campaign=P24M01\"><strong>Full event information here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.railexpress.com.au\/first-speakers-and-sponsors-confirmed-at-connect-rail-2024\/\">First speakers and sponsors confirmed at Connect Rail 2024<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.railexpress.com.au\/\">Rail Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.railexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Connect-Rail.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption>Image: 169169\/stock.adobe.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sydney will play host to Connect Rail 2024, an exciting multi-staged conference and exhibition taking place on 5-6 August 2024 \u2026 <\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.railexpress.com.au\/first-speakers-and-sponsors-confirmed-at-connect-rail-2024\/\">First speakers and sponsors confirmed at Connect Rail 2024<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.railexpress.com.au\/\">Rail Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4354,163],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rail-industry-events","category-rail-industry-news-australia-new-zealand"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.9 -
