The Amadeus Rail Forum Returns for 2010
Amadeus Rail can reveal that this year’s event will be taking place from the 15-17th of November. It is sure to be as successful as our previous Rail Forums held in 2007 and 2008, bringing together large audiences of rail experts and provoking dynamic discussions on the most current issues on rail passenger sales and operations.
The previous rail forums have covered such topics as European de-regulation which is even more prominent now since it was enforced at the beginning of this year and also interesting discussions on ‘best practice sharing,’ e-ticketing, selling rail, customer experience and intermodal travel.
The Amadeus Rail Forum allows delegates to actively participate in workshops that are run by the industry and put forward their own views. As well as an informative and diverse agenda, the social programme will be the perfect opportunity for you to relax and network with key people from the rail industry.
Participation is by invitation only, due to limited numbers and priority to customers, however, we are always on the lookout for thought provoking presentations and topics.
Amadeus will share with the delegates their product and solution suite for the railways and travel sellers, enabling success in the travel and tourism indusrty.
Topics are now open for discussion on our LinkedIn group.
The venue is yet to be confirmed so watch this space.

Results of our poll - How do you book your long distance train journey?
The majority of train tickets for long distance travel are booked online through the providers website. Whereas a short journey will more likely be bought at the station the longer journey requires planning, therefore advanced booking. Many railways are selling more and more ancillary products through the website, car rental and hotels being the main products to be found. Some sites have gone as far as weekend packages, cruises and local activities. Some would say they are becoming tour operators. I'm a great fan of Eurostar advertising, sometimes very funny and clever, they sell the destination, its a great way to give people a taste of what they might be missing oh and by the way you can get there by travelling on .... nice!
