Description

RIA’s Award-winning Annual Conference is a much-regarded highlight of the UK rail calendar and 2022 will be no exception. The supply chain community will have the possibility of meeting face-to-face with clients, industry leaders, influencers, international guests and policy makers. This year’s Conference focuses on the theme of “Growing rail in a year of transition”. Over the space of two days, the programme will combine keynote speeches, panel discussions, interview sessions, exhibition area and unique networking opportunities.

Conference host

Sameena Ali-Khan anchors national bulletins for ITV at weekends, and throughout the week on Central Tonight in the Midlands, covering a wide range of stories across daily news and documentaries.

After studying Physiology and Chemistry, Sameena was drawn to journalism. After working on radio in Manchester she first appeared on air on BBC Radio Lancashire. She remained with the BBC, going back to Manchester and GMR before stints on the BBC Asian Network, BBC West Midlands and BBC London, as well as Radio 5Live. On TV (aside from a debut appearance made whilst living in Nigeria on the country’s equivalent of Blue Peter) Sameena presented and reported for

Northwest Today, Inside Out, and Midlands Today before moving to ITV.

With a presenting style combining bright and approachable with authoritative, Sameena is the only presenter to have won the RTS Best On Screen Personality two years running.
