RII recently participated in the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) conference held in Kansas City, Missouri. The event proved to be an exceptional experience, fostering connections and showcasing the collaborative spirit of the railroad industry. The conference boasted an impressive turnout, with over 1,700 attendees and 200+ exhibitors. This vast #network provided a platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration. RII representatives actively engaged in information sessions, gaining valuable insights into the latest industry trends and best practices. One of the key takeaways from the conference was the profound sense of community within the railroad industry. Although often perceived as one of the smallest niches, it has countless sectors within which encompasses a diverse range of specialties. Events like ASLRRA serve as a vital space where these diverse groups can converge and drive innovation in an ever-changing world. By participating in such events, #RII remains committed to staying at the forefront of the railroad industry and contributing to its continued success. #railroadindustries #Industryconference #Collaboration #KansasCity #ShortLineRailroads #GrowthMindset

📣 ACI EUROPE joins over 400 cross-sector organisations in a collective call on EU leaders to confirm the Green Deal as a strategic priority for the next EU mandate.   The EU Green Deal is the foundation of a competitive, secure, modern and efficient Europe. As such, it must be underpinned by EU industrial policy supporting its implementation. EU airports are bound by a number of requirements for their infrastructure to meet the ambitious goals enshrined in the Green Deal, and they now need the stability and supporting measures to deliver on the transformation. This means, the EU Green Deal needs to be reconfirmed as a key strategic priority for our bloc by the new leaders assuming their office this year and complemented by a sound EU industrial strategy to support it. Moreover, the European aviation stakeholders are ready to start a closer cooperation with the institutions shaping their sustainable and competitive future, notably the European Commission, to establish an EU Pact for Sustainable & Competitive Aviation, fully aligned with the EU Green Deal objectives.

Coming to the GBTA Convention 2024 in Atlanta? If you're interested in #sustainable travel practices, you need to join us for the groundbreaking session, “Can Carbon-Based Air Contracts Save Business Travel?” on July 23! Traditional models of trading market share for discounts are becoming obsolete and fail to align buyers and airlines on their climate goals. The future lies in contracts anchored on mutual carbon reductions. But will #procurement professionals see the benefits, and will #airlines come on board? Panelists OLIVIER Benoit of Advito, Scott Gillespie of tClara, and Glenn Hollister of United Airlines will explore: 👉Understanding the core concepts of carbon-based airline contracts 👉Debating the costs, benefits, risks, and implications of these contracts 👉Building a strong procurement-based case for buyers and airlines interested in innovation Come listen, weigh in, and together we’ll look at the transformative implications of this bold concept. Your insights could be pivotal in shaping the future of business travel.

📣 #UICrail was in Korea last week for several events, notably its 36th Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly, the 22nd UIC Asia-Pacific Management Committee (APMC), the UIC - KORAIL Workshop on Best Practices of High-Speed Line Operation in Asia-Pacific, and the first Scientific Committee of the UIC High-Speed Congress planned to be held in Beijing in 2025. ➡️ All these meetings were organised at the invitation of KORAIL as part of the celebrations for the 20th #anniversary of the HSR in Korea, bringing together UIC members from the Asia Pacific region as well as from Europe and the USA. ➡️ In addition to the warm welcome, it is worth noting the special attention given by Korail to UIC members and the interest in the technical and cultural visits. In his report, UIC APRA Chairman HAN Moon Hee emphasised the importance of UIC's work on #standardisation with the support of the region, and the strong #commitment of regional members to develop regional projects. Key messages delivered by UIC APRA Chairman HAN Moon Hee, and UIC Director General François DAVENNE, also highlighted the global challenges and opportunities in rail transport, focusing on decarbonisation, digitalisation, and safety culture. ➡️ The project activities of APRA were presented by Philippe Lorand, Coordinator of the UIC Asia-Pacific region. 🚄 The workshop on High-Speed Line Operation in the Asia-Pacific region tied in with the 20-year anniversary of high-speed lines in Korea. Key messages were delivered by Eungdae Lee, Deputy Director, International Cooperation Department, KORAIL Bertrand MINARY, UIC Passenger Director, Coordinator of the UIC Middle-East & Latin America regions. The workshop was very enriching, both in terms of the topics covered and the cross-discussions between Asia, Europe, and other regions. Baoshi HUO, Chair, UIC Intercity & High-Speed Committee and Director of the Science Technical and IT Application Department of Chinese Railways (CR) introduced the worldwide status and trends for HSL development. 🙌 The meetings were testament to the importance of #collaboration and shared #development within the UIC APRA region.   #governance #HighSpeed #Cooperation #Innovation #Passenger
