We are delighted to return to a face-to-face format this year for this much anticipated event on the rail industry calendar.

Our world changed in 2020 and so did the way we all do business. Rail kept Australia moving, despite the challenges of border closures and increased demands on our supply chain.

This year’s conference provides an opportunity to celebrate those achievements. I have no doubt AusRAIL PLUS 2021 will be an event to remember, providing the first opportunity for many of us to come together since 2019. With a wide range of social events on offer as part of the program, this is a not-to-be missed opportunity to reconnect with industry colleagues.

We have been working hard behind the scenes to deliver outstanding content so you can make the most of your AusRAIL PLUS experience in Brisbane. Our three-day event features an extensive program developed following member feedback and includes valuable panel discussions with key rail decision-makers.

AusRAIL PLUS gives the entire industry – from stakeholders to suppliers – a chance to network, collaborate and trade. There’s been strong demand for exhibition space this year as the industry prepares to showcase rail’s resilience, innovation and achievements.

I encourage you to join us at AusRAIL PLUS this year and look forward to seeing you all at the event.

Yours sincerely,

Caroline Wilkie Chief Executive Officer, Australasian Railway Association

Saul Eslake, Economist As the ANZ’s chief ‘number-cruncher’ for nearly 14 years and with

over 25 years as an economist in Australian financial markets, Saul Eslake has a knack for explaining economics in terms mere mortals can understand. Saul will provide an economic overview and forecast of future trends impacting industry.

Kitty Chiller AM Winner of the 2020 International Olympic Committee Women in

Sport Award for Oceania, Kitty Chiller AM became Australia’s first ever female Chef de Mission at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Since retiring, Kitty has reinvigorated the culture of Australia’s Olympic Team with authenticity, strength and an enormous personal drive. She joins us to share her insights and important take-home messages about leadership, diversity, change management and delivering cultural change.

Orange Sky Australia Orange Sky Australia is the world’s first free mobile laundry service

for people experiencing homelessness – an idea founded in a Brisbane garage by two 20-year-old mates.

This idea has since evolved into something much bigger and more powerful. Nick Marchesi OAM and Lucas Patchett OAM join us to share their journey on creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for people who feel disconnected from the community.

gathering that is always a highlight of AusRAIL PLUS. We are delighted to have Claire Hooper accept the challenge of captivating the audience during the industry’s largest talkfest.
