Trailblazers Summer Networking Reception
Trailblazers - Summer Networking Reception
Thursday 13 June 2024 | 17:30-20:00 | KIA Oval, London
The Railway Industry Association (RIA) is excited to be bringing you the next Trailblazers Networking Reception. The Reception will take place on 13 June 2024 at the KIA Oval in London, from 5:30 - 8:00pm. This initiative and event support the vision of the EDI Charter launched in November 2020 by RIA and WR and the work currently undertaken by the EDI Charter Working Group. Previous years have seen over 200 people from across the industry attend this networking reception - it is not one to be missed!
We are also delighted to announce that this Trailblazers event will have British Sign Language provision, with two screens and an interpreter provided by Supporting Sponosr L.B. Foster.
Our Trailblazers initiative brings together young and experienced professionals from across the industry, to enable them to learn from each other, make new connections, and celebrate a vibrant and diverse rail workforce. We encourage attendees to bring a 'plus one' - if you are a senior professional we encourage you to bring a junior colleague or mentee; and if you are a more junior professional we encourage you to bring a senior colleague (although this is not compulsory).
Keynote Speaker: Dr Mark McBride-Wright MBE CEng MIChemE, Founder & CEO, EqualEngineers
