The New Era of Digital Railways
Digital Railway 2026 will take place in Gdańsk on 23–25 March 2026.
The main objective of the event is to explore issues related to digital interfaces in railway traffic control systems. The conference also aims to create a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience between technology providers, the academic community, and industry.
During the event, the latest cloud-based solutions for railway traffic control will be discussed, along with current trends in the digitalisation of control processes. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn about cyber threats related to traffic operations in digital systems and to discuss the principles of cybersecurity.


Digital Railway 2026 Gdańsk is a key event for the railway sector, focusing on the future of digital railway traffic control systems. Taking part in the conference offers an opportunity to:

The conference enables participants to build expertise in digital interfaces used in railway traffic control systems.

Available cloud-based solutions for railway traffic control will be presented, including a geo-redundant interlocking system.

During the conference, we will discuss solutions and cyber threats associated with operating railway traffic in a digital system.

We will create a space for the exchange of knowledge and experience between domestic and international technology providers and the academic community. It is an excellent opportunity for networking.
