The Rail Technical Conference (RTC), hosted by ASAVRAIL - The key message is this: “We cannot deliver a safe, reliable, and modern railway without investing in the people who make it happen.” The Rail Technical Conference (RTC), hosted by ASAVRAIL, designed to address the critical challenges facing the UK rail workforce — particularly in the areas of competency, compliance, and resource management. Its purpose is to bring together technical leaders, training providers, industry bodies, and frontline professionals to openly discuss how we maintain high technical standards, keep our people safe, and retain the skills needed to deliver future infrastructure. Through targeted talks and panel discussions, the conference aims to spark action around improving training, supporting workforce wellbeing, and strengthening industry collaboration. The Rail Technical Conference is aimed at those directly impacted by the current lack of consistent work and workforce uncertainty in the rail sector. Our delegates include: • Track and Signalling Installers and Technicians facing fluctuating workloads • Design Engineers at all levels—from Apprentices and Graduates to Principal Engineers • Site Safety Staff and Compliance Officers managing increasingly complex safety demands • Construction and Civils Operatives affected by project delays and underutilisation • Possession Planners and frontline Supervisors dealing with compressed programmes • Early-career Rail professionals and Apprentices seeking sustainable career paths • Contractors, agency workers, and supply chain staff experiencing irregular employment • Project Professionals such as, Project Managers, Commerical, Procurement, Line Managers, non-technical professionals • Suppliers and manufacturers This event is focused on those whose livelihoods and professional development are being challenged by the current market pressures — providing them with insights, support, and a platform to be heard. Delegates should come away with: • A clearer understanding of the current pressures facing the rail workforce • Practical insights into improving competence, wellbeing, and compliance • Inspiration to take action within their own organisations • A renewed sense of shared responsibility for industry-wide standards It’s also about connection and collaboration — creating space for open discussion between those in training, operations, engineering, and leadership roles. A Certificate of Attendance will be provided (7.5 hours) for your CPD Record Email rtc@asavrail.com to request your certificates, quoting your ticket reference, name and contact email address. The RTC is ideal for organisations who: • Deliver technical training or workforce development services • Support mental health, wellbeing, or professional development in rail • Provide technology or systems that support competency, licensing, or compliance • Want to engage with the rail engineering community on standards and innovation • Are interested in shaping the future of the UK’s railway workforce There will be 8 different key themes for the day: 1. Current Workload and Industry Response 2. Competency and Training 3. Supporting Railway Workforce Facing Early Retirement 4. Stress and Mental Health in Difficult Times 5. Professional Registration and Development 6. Benefits of IET Membership 7. Succession Planning: Passing the Baton in the Real World 8.

How Speed Dating Works in Birmingham When you arrive at Treetop Mini Golf you will be greeted by our friendly professional hosts. Once everyone has arrived and registered we will briefly explain the format of the evening. The ladies will then be asked to make their way to their allocated table. Once the ladies are seated the gentlemen will be asked to proceed to their first date. You will have 4 minutes to chat to each date, once the 4 minutes is over we will ring a bell to indicate the time is up and for the gentlemen to move to their next date. Four minutes is long enough to see if you click with the person you are talking to and whether you would like to see them again and also short enough if you don't. At the end of each date you have a brief few moments to make some notes on the person you have just dated. This is something to help jog your memory for the post event matching process the next day. Half way through the event you will have an interval break so you can nip to the toilet or top up your drink at the Amazon themed bar! After the Speed Dating has taken place, feel free to head to the golf course and play a round or two of mini golf with some of your love interests and friends made from the evening! This is a great way to mingle with fellow daters and continue your evening! Don't forget to take your dating card home with you to assist you in entering in your ticks and potential matches. Post Event No later than midday the following day our matching system will be unlocked for you to enter your ticks from the previous evening. You have all day to tick as many people as you like from the night before. We guarantee you will find someone you will want to see again, otherwise we will give you your next Speed Dating event for free!

To the world Mrs Copplefield is the epitome of Victorian propriety: an exemplary society lady who writes a weekly column advising young ladies on how to be better wives. Only Adeline has never been a good wife or mother; she has no claim to the Copplefield name, nor is she an English lady . . . Now a black woman, born in Africa, who dared to pretend to be something she was not, is on trial in the English courts with all of London society baying for her blood. And she is ready to tell her story . . . "When I set out to write this book, I knew I wanted to write about a Black women living in Victorian England. I was deliberate about relying less on the 'slave ' or 'maid' narrative and instead place the focus on a resilient, resourceful and wealthy Victorian woman who just happens to be Black. It was also important for me to highlight the contributions of women of African descent who have mostly been erased from history. Although ‘Temi’ is a fictional character, there are ‘guest stars’ in this novel like, Sarah Parker Remond the only known Black woman to sign the register for women's rights in 1866 and Alice Kinloch. Both these Black women have all made a difference at a time when women’s voices were muted." --- Author, Lola Jaye Free entry Cocktail bar, nibbles, and discussion! Tell a friend!
