The Rail Technical Conference (RTC), hosted by ASAVRAIL, designed to address the critical challenges facing the UK rail workforce — particularly in the areas of competency, compliance, and resource management.
Its purpose is to bring together technical leaders, training providers, industry bodies, and frontline professionals to openly discuss how we maintain high technical standards, keep our people safe, and retain the skills needed to deliver future infrastructure.
Through targeted talks and panel discussions, the conference aims to spark action around improving training, supporting workforce wellbeing, and strengthening industry collaboration.
The Rail Technical Conference is aimed at those directly impacted by the current lack of consistent work and workforce uncertainty in the rail sector.
