RAILcph is a one-day railway conference in Copenhagen, organised annually by Banebranchen. The 2027 edition is scheduled for 13 May and will be the event’s 20th conference. It began in 2009 as “Den Danske Banekonference” and has been held each year since. 1
The conference is intended as a meeting place for infrastructure managers, public authorities, operators, industry representatives, students and politicians from multiple countries. Its stated purpose is to support exchange of experience and professional networking across the rail sector. 1 The 2026 edition drew more than 650 participants from over 150 companies, with 60 presentations ranging from technical subjects to broader strategic and political questions. Exhibitor stands and a conference dinner were also part of that day’s programme. 12
