HackTrain 4.0 RailTech Conference

The best RailTech conference is back for another year! In the words of one of last year's attendees: "It was the first conference I have attended in a long time, where I didn’t get bored, didn’t fall asleep (!) and was totally entertained and informed throughout the whole day".

This year, The HackTrain 4.0 conference will be a one-day event on the 24th of November, which will kick off our annual 48-hour hackathon on a moving train.

Expect to hear specialists assess and outline:

• The best methodologies to counter cyber security attacks

• Define the next era of multimodal transport

• Case studies on the culture of innovation that is shaping the future of transport.

These conversations will provide some insight into how we can accelerate change and protect against the latest threats faced by the rail industry!

Our jam-packed day of talks, workshops, panel discussions and networking will spark conversations for years to come! Our website is in the process of being updated, but you can find some details of the programme and confirmed speakers at http://hacktrain.com/conference
