After a successful appearance at RIN Glasgow, Siemens will be attending RIN Derby for the first time, demonstrating their commitment to supporting and engaging with the UK rail supply chain. The team will be taking part in MTB sessions and spending time throughout the event connecting with suppliers and industry professionals.
Alstom’s Signalling and Infrastructure Procurement team will be attending in force, networking across the exhibition floor and looking to build relationships with both new and existing suppliers. This is a fantastic opportunity for exhibitors and visitors alike to connect directly with key procurement stakeholders and explore future opportunities.
Exclusive to RIN Exhibitors
Only RIN exhibitors can take part in MTB – making your stand booking even more valuable.
Hand Matched Meetings That Matter
Our Marketing and Events Manager, Antoinette, personally manages the entire process.
She works closely with the buyers ahead of the event to understand exactly what they’re looking for – from specialist products to solutions to specific challenges.
This insight allows her to invite the right suppliers to apply and to guide exhibitors so they can tailor their pitch for maximum impact.
Apply to Meet the Buyers You Want
Exhibitors submit a simple online application (link will appear here when applications open) and select the buyers they want to meet.
Buyers Choose Their Preferred Suppliers
The buyers then review the applications and hand pick the suppliers they want appointments with, ensuring every meeting is focused, relevant and commercially meaningful.
Your Appointments, Organised for You
Antoinette builds the full schedule—typically three meetings per hour across a four-hour session, saving you time and ensuring your day runs seamlessly.
Hosted Introductions on the Day
On the event day, Antoinette and Clare greet suppliers, manage the diary, and personally introduce exhibitors to buyers, ensuring every meeting gets off to a strong start.
