AusRAIL 2014
Welcome to AusRAIL 2014
AusRAIL 2014 Planner
There has been a great deal of change in our
industry and economy since our inaugural visit
to Perth in 2010, but it is a wonderful place to
be addressing the theme for this year; Making
Innovation Work.
Innovation is the cornerstone of any industry
but unless it works effectively its true impact
will never be realised. Globally, there is a
renewed emphasis on working smarter,
working to get more out of what we already have, to innovate and to put
those innovations to work.
Western Australia has long been a hotbed for innovation within rail. Its
heavy haul rail lines and operations lead the world in many areas, and
more recently we have seen world firsts with driverless, automated trains
hauling iron ore across the Pilbara.
The commercial realities that drive the mining industry have led to some
impressive advances in rail operations. Rail as an industry needs to learn
and adapt these innovations to other areas that would benefit greatly
from increased capacity without vast capital expenditure.
Once again this year AusRAIL will provide an exceptional platform for
knowledge sharing and networking with industry leaders, rail
constructors, manufacturers and operators from across the Australasian
region and beyond. It is this mix that helps drive our industry forward.

The two-day conference will feature a busy trade exhibition packed with
large and small, local and overseas companies. I hope you will build new
relationships, and strengthen existing ones during your time here.
The conference agenda will be contributed to by over 50 senior
executives, enabling you to develop a new understanding of both the
future forces that will impact the rail industry here in Australia, and the
innovations at work in projects and operations across the globe.
As ever our fantastic social program will enable you to network, relax and
reconnect with those key contacts. I hope you join us at the Exhibition
Networking Drinks which will take place on the evening of the 11th
November with the AusRAIL Gala Dinner on the night of the 12th once
again bringing the curtain down on what promises to be an industrious
two days.
I look forward to seeing you around the conference and exhibition.
Yours sincerely,
Bryan Nye OAM
