CBTC and beyond conferences

Booking is now open for the 6th "CBTC and beyond conference" on 30 November and 1 December 2023

 

The CBTC and beyond conferences are hugely popular, providing an opportunity to hear about implementing CBTC and other advanced train control systems on metro, light rail, intercity, freight and commuter systems.  

The conferences also provide an opportunity to meet those working on, and interested in, these systems. 

 

Early bird rates are available until 1 November 2023 at GB£203 for IRSE members and GB£226 for non-members.  Prices will increase to GB£244 for members and GB£267 for non-members after this date.
