Trailblazers Summer Reception
Trailblazers - Summer Networking reception
30 June 2022
KIA Oval, London
The Railway Industry Association (RIA) is excited to be bringing you the next Trailblazers Networking Reception. The Reception will take place on 30 June 2022 at the KIA Oval in London, from 5:30 - 8:00pm. This initiative and event support the vision of the EDI Charter launched in November 2020 by RIA and WR and the work currently undertaken by the EDI Charter Working Group.
Our Trailblazers initiative brings together young and experienced professionals from across the industry, to enable them to learn from each other, make new connections, and celebrate a vibrant and diverse rail workforce. We encourage attendees to bring a 'plus one' - if you are a senior professional we encourage you to bring a junior colleague or mentee; and if you are a more junior professional we encourage you to bring a senior colleague (although this is not compulsory).
Please do come and join us for a drink and nibbles at what will be a unique and exciting networking event in a fantastic location!
