Rail Link - Infrastructure for Rail Freight & Logistics RDS Dublin 2025

About this Event

Following our hugely successful event at the Aviva Stadium in April, we’re excited to return to Dublin on September 30th at the RDS for our next major gathering. This time, we’re offering a streamlined format focused on high-impact talks, keynotes, and panel discussions—designed to deliver valuable insights and real dialogue on the future of freight and logistics.

This is Ireland’s only dedicated event that brings together the logistics supply chain and the railway infrastructure sector, offering a unique platform to learn, connect, and collaborate. Here’s what you can expect:

• Companies innovating in sustainable goods transport
• Engineers upgrading Ireland’s rail infrastructure
• Automation specialists improving logistics for high-volume industries
• Aviation, port, and rail representatives enabling efficient freight networks

The event aligns with the Irish government's Rail Freight 2040 Strategy, focused on expanding rail’s role in freight transport and building a greener, more efficient logistics system.

Throughout the day, you’ll hear from industry leaders through expert talks, practical sessions, and interactive panels covering sustainability, infrastructure investment, and supply chain innovation.

Our host Shane Coleman will lead the day’s sessions, introducing a stellar lineup of speakers—including the ever-popular “Rory’s Stories” delivering a standout keynote. You'll also hear directly from Irish Rail on their freight strategy, as well as insights from major players shaping logistics across Europe.

Entry is ticketed, and nonrefundable. Places are limited—so early booking is essential. Early bird 50% off now available.
