From the Tracks to the Top: Propel is Coming to Your Backyard

As a Chicagoland rail professional, your work keeps the nation's freight moving—and your city is the hub that makes it all possible. Now it’s your turn to move forward.

Propel: A Leadership Summit for High-Potential Rail Professionals returns to Convene 311 W Monroe in the Loop, October 5-6. Just a short walk from downtown stations and steps from your office, it’s easier than ever to join—whether you’re commuting or coming from work.

This two-day experience is designed for rail professionals ready to grow, connect, and lead. Kick off the experience on Thursday evening, October 5, with our Icebreaker networking event at The LaSalle Chicago, our event hotel located in The Loop. Then on Friday, October 6, head to Convene for a full day of leadership development, industry insight, and peer collaboration.

Take a train. Take the next step. Propel is waiting.
