The RailFreight Summit is back in Poland for its 8th edition. This year, we are going to Gdańsk, where rail freight is booming, on 8 and 9 April 2025 at the Scandic Gdańsk Hotel. The focus of the event will be on the relationship between ports and railways in Europe and the necessity to boost the modal shift.
The event will be spread across two days. The first one, Tuesday, 8 April 2025, will start with a site visit to the Baltic Hub Container Terminal, a key intermodal node for Poland, where a brand new terminal will soon be operational. The first day will end with a cocktail reception and great opportunities to start connecting with people before the main event begins.
The programme of RailFreight Summit 2025
For the second day, Wednesday, 9 April 2025, the programme entails various sessions with high-level speakers. There will be panels with port authorities from all over Europe, with companies involved in terminal operations, focusing on the latest and future technologies and data management, exploring many aspects of the synergies between ports and railways.
Moreover, there will be room to discuss some of the most important developments for rail freight in terms of policies and European-wide initiatives. These include the Greening Freight Package, the Digital Automatic Coupling and the state of private companies in a market hegemonised by state-owned companies.
In between all these sessions, there will be plenty of time for the attendees to mingle, including a ‘Boom your network’ intensive session to search for new connections.

The bravest attendees will also have the chance to go for a ‘fun run’ on Wednesday morning to set the tone for the event. The jogging session will start at 7 am. At the end of the day, when all the sessions are over, the party can kick off. It will begin with networking drinks at the Scandic Gdańsk Hotel and continue with an exclusive dinner.
