DATES CONFIRMED FOR NEXT EXPORAIL AND INTERTUNNEL EXHIBITIONS IN MOSCOW
Dates are now confirmed for Exporail and INTERtunnel 2011. The next edition of these highly successful co-located exhibitions of railway and tunnelling technology and services will take place at Moscow’s Expocentr from 16 to 18 March 2011.
Increasingly well established in the international rail industry’s calendar, this fifth Exporail show will provide a unique showcase for the very latest in equipment and systems for infrastructure, rolling stock and all related market sectors.
INTERtunnel 2011 will be the fourth in a series of exhibitions in Moscow, offering suppliers with an opportunity to present their innovations in systems and technologies for constructing, equipping and operating tunnels and underground spaces.
The combined event is being staged with the support of Russian Railways (RZD), the Ministry of Transport, the International Transport Academy and the Government of Moscow. INTERtunnel 2011 is additionally supported by the Russian Tunnelling Association.
The last Exporail and INTERtunnel exhibitions took place in Moscow from 17 to 19 March this year. Together they attracted some 3,000 transport and tunnelling industry policy makers, engineers and buyers, mostly from the Russian Federation. In all, 150 exhibitors from 15 countries – including 40 from outside Russia – took part.
A full supporting conference and seminars programme is planned alongside the show, providing participants with a valuable insight into the strategic direction of developments in railways and infrastructure in one of the world’s most dynamic economies.
The Russian capital’s prestigious Expocentr remains the venue for Exporail 2011 and INTERtunnel 2011, which again will be staged in Halls 3, 4 and 5 of Pavilion 7.
Exporail and INTERtunnel are organised by Restec Brooks Exhibitions, a joint venture of Mack Brooks Exhibitions Ltd in the United Kingdom and the St Petersburg-based Restec Exhibition Company.
