populated with expert speakers from industry and government
commenting on the important challenges and opportunities
facing the varying sectors of the industry.
As ever, our fantastic social program will enable you to network,
relax and reconnect with those key contacts. Following the
Welcome Reception on the 23rd November, the popular
exhibition networking drinks will take place on the evening of the

most entertaining dinner events of the year – The RTAA Yellow Tie

excite and delight all in attendance.
As AusRAIL PLUS is the only event supported by the main national
Australasian rail industry associations, it builds on the established
tradition of bringing together an excellent and diverse group of
speakers to present on a broad range of current topics. This year
will again provide a selection of the very best Australia and New

AusRAIL PLUS 2015
Venue
AusRAIL returns to Melbourne
with its first PLUS year!
Rail plays a key and iconic role in Melbourne,
one of the world’s most liveable cities.
Home to beautiful parks, iconic buildings,
historic landmarks, award-winning restaurants,
and a uniquely ‘cool’ and vibrant culture,
Melbourne has something for everyone to
discover and enjoy.
In 2015, the largest rail conference and
exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere will also
be one of the easiest to travel to, thanks to its
central location and local initiatives including
the new Free Tram Zone in Melbourne’s CBD.
To help you discover the city’s array of galleries,
cafes, bars and boutiques, the Free Tram Zone
includes the area from the iconic Queen Victoria
Market, across to Victoria Harbour in Docklands,
up to Spring Street and over to Flinders Street
Station and Federation Square.
Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre
1 Convention Centre Place, South Wharf, Melbourne,
Victoria 3006
Set on the banks of the iconic Yarra River, the Melbourne
Convention and Exhibition Centre is just a 20 minute drive
from Melbourne airport and a short stroll to the city centre.
There you can explore cafés, eclectic restaurants, lush
parklands, incredible fashion and inspiring galleries and
museums.
That’s if and when you find time after exploring the
AusRAIL PLUS 2015 exhibition which covers 21,000 sqm!
