Terrapinn is launching World MetroRail Congress Americas as a standalone event after high demand from our World MetroRail Congresses in London, Dubai and Singapore - which have brought together global transit leaders for the past 10+ years. In the last 2 years alone, both Tom Prendergast, CEO, MTA NYC and Joseph Giulietti, President of Metro-North, have participated in our MetroRail events.

The conference focuses on strategic discussions between both rail operators and vendors about upcoming metro projects and improvement plans. Discover what challenges lie ahead for rail operators and demonstrate how you can help them overcome those. The conference provides vendors with an opportunity to learn about upcoming projects and tenders before anyone else does.

As part of our inaugural year, World MetroRail Congress Americas 2017 will be co-located with LightRail Americas. By bringing two events together under one roof, you will meet with top CEO’s and decision makers from the global rail industry and choose the sessions most applicable to help your business grow revenues and discover the latest innovations and technology changing the face of rail.

If you want to be ahead of your competition and get involved in metro and light rail projects early, then World MetroRail Congress Americas 2017 is the place to be.

Jim Kenney Mayor, City of Philadelphia
