Thank you to everyone who submitted an abstract for AusRAIL 2026.
With a strong response from across the rail industry, we look forward to reviewing a wide range of submissions that reflect the innovation, expertise and real-world experience shaping the future of rail.
The AusRAIL 2026 conference program is built on sharing practical insights, lessons learned and forward-thinking ideas. This year’s abstracts span key themes including infrastructure and construction, digital rail and automation, rolling stock, innovation, and customer and community outcomes — reinforcing AusRAIL’s role as the industry’s leading forum for knowledge exchange.
What happens next?
All submissions will now undergo a review process, with successful applicants to be notified in due course. Accepted abstracts will form part of a comprehensive conference program delivered alongside the large-scale AusRAIL 2026 exhibition in Brisbane.
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to contribute and help shape the AusRAIL 2026 program.
Further updates will be shared on the website as planning continues.
