Testimonials

Hear what our 2022 attendees had to say:

“A great way to get into the mix of decarbonisation within the industry which allows recipients to understand the latest and greatest insights and what implications may arise.”

“The conference brought together a good mix of industry representatives who were willing to openly share their perspectives, experiences, knowledge and learnings to guide the ongoing conversation of how to decarbonise a critical part of Australia’s mobility and deliver sustainable transportation.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed it. It provided significant learnings to continue to push for improvements in everything we do, and to look from alternative perspectives, to provide more sustainable outcomes.”

“As a young rail engineer attending a conference like this was very inspiring and insightful to see where the future of rail is heading. It was very informative to see the new innovations that are being researched to decarbonise the rail industry.”

“It was a great event to connect with sustainability, environment and technical rail professionals that are focused on the challenges of decarbonisation.”
