All Island Summit

Following the recent successful Rail Conference in Belfast, RIA Northern Ireland is delighted to announce the launch of the inaugural ‘All Island Rail Summit’ planned for 18 February 2026 in Belfast.

The inaugural All Island Rail Summit will bring together member companies of all sizes with clients, influencers and policy makers for a day of informative discussions. It will explore the many projects and opportunities in development across Ireland, and attendees will be able to meet some of the key stakeholders and decision makers from across the industry and political landscapes from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Ireland is currently one of the most dynamic and exciting rail markets in the world, and the summit will be the very first event to provide an all Island approach and perspective. It will hear keynote speeches from the Northern Irish Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins MLA and the Minister of State at the Department for Transport in the Republic of Ireland, Sean Canney, TD. Other speakers include Chris Conway, Group Chief Executive Officer of Translink and Mary Considine, the CEO of Irish Rail.
