Rail Insights: Women in Rail Virtual Conference
Event Info
Since 2017, Railway Age has recognized the growth in leadership roles for women in the railway industry with our annual Women in Rail Awards.
Our 2022 Rail Insights: Women in Rail Conference—presented virtually—is your opportunity to participate in a dialogue with the key women who are driving their businesses forward while making a difference and effecting change. Representing the next generation of railroaders, these outstanding women are making their mark in a historically male-dominated industry with a fresh vision, as well as a commitment to service and collaboration.
Five Reasons Why You Should Attend Women in Rail:
- Learn how our featured speakers rose to the top of their field
- Discover recruiting and mentoring best practices appealing to the new generation
- Gain insight into management practices you may not have considered
- See how women are accelerating industry ESG (environmental, social and governance) initiatives
