About this event

The 2026 UK NR/TOC PMO Best Practice Forum brings together project and PMO leaders from across the UK rail industry to share insight, strengthen collaboration, and explore approaches to improving project delivery. Hosted by Great Western Railway, the event focuses on advancing PMO excellence through shared learning, practical discussion, and industry networking.

Emma Arnaz-Pemberton will be speaking as part of the programme, contributing perspectives on the PMO service catalogue and how organisations can better support strategy, delivery, and capability across their change portfolios. The forum will also explore the role of PMOs as the rail sector transitions into public ownership and the value of professional partnerships such as the Association for Project Management.

What will the event focus on?

  • Association for Project Management (APM) corporate partnership, and the value it could offer you and your organisation

  • The PMO service catalogue, highlighting activities that support business strategy, project delivery, and organisational capability

  • A deep dive into the top 12 PMO challenges (attached), where we collectively identified practical areas for improvement
