SITCE 2018 This year’s International Rail Conference – combined with SITCE for the first time in Asia – will be held under the theme “People at the heart of digital railways”.

We have an outstanding array of international speakers and a world-class programme prepared for this year’s edition.

UITP is also delighted to announce Stefan Stroh, Chief Digital Officer for Deutsche Bahn in Germany, as our keynote speaker.

Stefan has had a wide-ranging career, leading him to his current position as DB’s Chief Digital Officer. Stefan has been a Partner and Vice President at leading firms such as Booz Allen Hamilton, Booz & Company and Strategy&, part of the PwC network.

Deutsche Bahn now has DB Digital – actively shaping the digital future of mobility and logistics – making Stefan an excellent choice to address this year’s attendees.
