Africa's Largest Rail Exhibition & Conference


Africa’s longest running and most successful railways event now enters its 22nd successful year.



From humble beginnings as a small conference with a handful of exhibition stands, it now takes up 2 massive halls at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, and has grown to become Africa’s most important and best supported railways conference and exhibition. For 2 decades, Africa Rail has become the undisputed leader. It is an unrivalled platform for the continent’s railways industry to come together - to learn, to network and to do business.



Billions of dollars of business have either been initiated, concluded or influenced at this show. And it continues to provide the meeting place for buyers, sellers and their partners to do the deals that drive Africa’s railway sector.



The organisers, Terrapinn, design, produce and create conference agendas that are truly world class. Our formats are unique. Our keynotes are genuine disruptors, innovators and thought leaders. Our content and topics are relevant, well-researched and at the cusp of global and regional trends. And our expo presents the largest gathering of solution providers to the African continent.
