The ARA holds the Meet the Buyer series annually to enable major rail purchasers an opportunity to brief current and potential suppliers on their plans for the year ahead, including upcoming projects and asset procurement and how suppliers can get involved. Buyers also outline supply chain requirements and expectations, as well as the organisation’s key objectives and future focus in relation to technology and investment.
The series can be viewed by ARA members only and is held on-line with an opportunity for Q&A.
We are pleased to announce our series for 2022, happening every Friday in November. Each webinar will focus on four key areas of the Australian rail industry
