MetroRail 2009 - the most respected forum for the metro industry
Driving metro innovation in the 21st century!   

For delegates
Our 2008 event was a resounding success. Highlights of last year's event:

  • Over 250 metro industry executives attended 
  • Delegations from over 50 metro operators and transport authorities from across the globe were in attendance
  • Over 40 expert speakers addressed the big issues
  • Dedicated day on automation and driverless metro systems
  • Inaugural Metro Awards ceremony and gala dinner

No other metro event can give you one-to-one access to so many senior decision-makers from metro operators and infrastructure managers right across the value chain. Don't settle for second best; get real ROI by being part of the Metro rail industry's most comprehensive marketing campaign.

This is an exceptional opportunity to position your brand and business before the suburban, light rail and metro industry’s top executives.

mix and mingle with key players from the global metro industry
Following on from the phenomenal success of 2008, we will of course be continuing with the Metro Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner.
 
CEOs of many Fortune 500 companies have discovered the strategic advantages of entering and winning corporate awards. Like actors and studio bosses who recognize how winning an Oscar can multiply their market value, boardrooms across the globe are seeing similar effects with industry awards.
 
The Metro Awards were introduced in 2008 to recognise excellence within the metro industry, and the evening was enjoyed by over 230 participants. The gala dinner was an excellent opportunity to relax, unwind and of course make those all-important contacts!
 
Nominations for the Metro Awards 2009 will open in October 2008.

Our speakers
MetroRail 2009 will bring together the leaders of the global metro industry to share ideas, debate and discuss the issues at the heart of the industry. 
 
This forum is an ideal platform to consider the strategies for overcoming some of the challenges facing the industry today and in the future.

As is the Terrapinn ethos, we will continue to make the 2009 conference a more interactive experience; meaning extra panel sessions, debates and ultimately more audience involvement and networking opportunities. There will of course also be case study updates, and we will strive to introduce fresh content as we continue to keep track of the latest developments. We hope to see you all again at what is sure to be an even bigger and better event.
