These half-day\, members-only events are hosted across the UK within RIA’s Nations & Regions network\, giving members the opportunity to connect on topics essential to their business. \nEach MIG features expert speakers from leading organisations\, including Network Rail Routes & Regions\, Train Operating Companies\, Devolved Authorities\, Local Transport Bodies\, and Major Rail Projects\, as well as from the supply chain—from Tier 1 suppliers to SMEs. \nMembers may also host these events\, showcasing their facilities and capabilities to the RIA community. \nMIGs address crucial topics\, including regulatory updates\, standards\, new practices\, and innovative technologies that impact our members’ operations. However\, the primary purpose of MIGs is networking: they are an invaluable chance for members to build connections\, share insights\, and strengthen collaborations within the rail industry.
