A hybrid event 'US vs European RailFreight: Synergies & Differences' will be held on May 25th, 2023. Limited physical tickets are available for this gathering, which has garnered the interest of a high-level US delegation who confirmed physical attendance. The event, broadcasted from Rotterdam, commences at 10:00 CEST and extends until 13:00 CEST.

This event is structured around two critical sessions. The first session focuses on different approaches to rail freight in the US and EU. Contrasts in infrastructure management and rail freight between these regions will be examined, notably how the US led the way in the large-scale liberalisation of the sector while smaller companies in Europe compete with larger state-owned entities. Esteemed speakers for this session include Kimia Khatami from Anacostia Rail Holdings and Onno de Jong from Ecorys, who will respectively delve into the US and European perspectives on the industry.

The second session centres on rail freight operations, drawing comparisons between the US and Dutch railway networks in terms of intermodality, infrastructure, and technology. Distinguished speakers Laura Fisher, Vice President of Global Supply Chain at Sundyne, and Hans-Willem Vroon, Director of RailGood, are poised to provide insights into US and European operations, respectively. A round of presentations and a discussion panel will kick off the proceedings from 10:00 to 12:00, followed by a lunch hour from 12:00 to 13:00 for those participating physically. The venue for this notable gathering is the ProMedia Studio’s, located in Weena 505, Rotterdam.
