Just 4 weeks to go till AusRAIL PLUS 2011. We're super busy here at AusRAIL central, we're excited and we're counting down to it!

To keep you guys updated on the social functions that we have for you:

The Welcome Reception is your chance to register early for AusRAIL and beat the queues that inevitably form on the morning of the first day. If you are based in Brisbane or are just arriving early, come down to the Convention Centre, pick up your conference material and enjoy a relaxed drink with your peers. Attendance at this function is highly recommended for a stress free first morning at AusRAIL the next day!

The largest function held at AusRAIL the Exhibition Networking Drinks sees 2000 rail industry representatives congregate on the exhibition floor for two hours of networking and to properly soak up the variety of stands and companies on display.

AusRAIL PLUS 2011 RTAA Yellow Tie Dinner *we have tseen the tie and scarf design and it looks great!*

The traditional Yellow Tie Dinner is held every two years during the larger AusRAIL PLUS. A unique social gathering where each attendee receives a yellow tie or scarf there is as much discussion about what the design will be this year in the build up to the event, as there is on the night itself. Known as the industries talk-fest and the larger of the two AusRAIL dinners, you’re the odd one out if you’re not there.

The rail industry’s night of glamour, the black tie Gala Dinner is the traditional close to AusRAIL. A fantastic evening which sees the presentation of the industry awards of excellence, this year it will begin in the heart of Brisbane on a specially chartered train which departs from South Bank, calls at Central and then whisks delegates off to Eagle Farm for dinner under the stars in a purpose build clear roofed marquee.
