Rail Infrastructure Networking, better known as RIN, has become one of the most established fixtures in the UK rail calendar. What began as a focused industry meet-up has evolved into a four-event annual programme that brings together hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors from across the country.
At each event, companies of every size gather under one roof with a clear objective; to create meaningful connections and unlock new business opportunities. The format is straightforward but effective. Suppliers meet principal contractors, buyers engage with innovators, and conversations that start on a stand often turn into contracts further down the line.
RIN’s growth reflects both the demand for accessible, business-led networking and the continued strength of the UK rail supply chain. For SMEs in particular, it has become a reliable platform to raise visibility, build relationships and compete for work alongside larger organisations.
In our latest video interview, we speak to the organising team about the journey from those early, modest beginnings to an event series that now attracts some of the sector’s largest buying organisations. They share how the concept has evolved, why the appetite for face-to-face engagement remains strong, and what exhibitors and visitors can expect from future events.
