Cross River Rail’s After Dark Online is a monthly education and discovery series based around real-life learnings relating to Queensland’s largest infrastructure project.
With a new theme and topic each month, the After Dark Online education series features Subject Matter Experts talking about the topic and how it aligns with the project.
You can watch the playbacks of our previous After Dark Online webinar sessions in our video library below. As we do more of these events in the future, the playbacks will also be made available here.
