UK Rail 2026 | 13–14 May, Birmingham

Rail is one of the most safety-critical environments in the world, where the consequences of repeat failure can be catastrophic and the pressure on safety teams to investigate thoroughly and learn effectively is immense. UK Rail 2026 brings together the people shaping the future of safety, operations, and performance across the sector.

COMET’s Head of Operations, Craig Smith spoke at the event to talk about how data and digital tools can improve operational performance. Helping rail organisations move beyond surface-level conclusions and address the systemic causes that drive repeat incidents. If your team is still recording human error as the sole root cause without understanding what drove it, this is a conversation worth having.

EHS Congress Berlin | 27–28 May, Berlin

EHS Congress is one of Europe's leading gatherings for HSE professionals, attracting decision-makers and practitioners from high-risk industries across the globe. The agenda consistently focuses on what it takes to build safer, more resilient organisations, and how technology, culture, and leadership intersect to make that possible.

COMET will be exhibiting to engage with EHS professionals on the challenges of reactive safety management and what it looks like to move towards genuine, lasting prevention. With the recent launch of COMET AI Assistant, purpose-built AI for incident investigation and root cause analysis, there has never been a more relevant time to explore how intelligent technology can help organisations reveal and resolve the risks that traditional tools were never designed to find. Join COMET’s CEO, Mark Rushton, and COO, Steve Holmes, along with Russ Briggs from our integration partner, Intelex, at the COMET stand!

Rail Live | 17–18 June, Warwickshire

Rail Live is the UK's largest rail exhibition, bringing together over 7,000 rail professionals across two days of live demonstrations, seminar sessions, and networking at Porterbrook's Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre. With dedicated theatres covering Strategy and Leadership alongside Engineering and Safety, it is one of the most comprehensive gatherings the sector has to offer.

COMET will be exhibiting at Rail Live to connect with safety and operations professionals across the rail industry and explore how structured investigation and root cause analysis can help organisations get to the bottom of repeat failures rather than cycling through the same corrective actions. Rail is an industry where the margin for unresolved systemic risk is vanishingly small, and we are looking forward to the conversations that come from putting the right people in the same place.

AirportsUK Operations Conference | 1–2 July, Bournemouth

Aviation is one of the most regulated and scrutinised industries on the planet, and rightly so. The AirportsUK Operations Conference brings together airport operators and aviation safety professionals to address the operational challenges facing the sector, from incident management and compliance to the drive for continuous improvement across increasingly complex environments.

COMET supports aviation and aerospace organisations in uncovering the real causes behind incidents and near misses, giving safety teams the structured methodology and AI-driven insight to take confident, informed action before the next event. Mark and Steve look forward to meeting the teams working to raise the standard of safety across UK airports at the conference, come say hi!

PSS Members Conference | 7 July, London

Port Skills and Safety is the UK’s professional safety and skills membership organisation for ports, and the PSS Members Conference is where the sector's safety leaders come together to share knowledge, address shared challenges, and drive improvement across the industry.

As a proud PSS partner, COMET has a longstanding relationship with the ports community. The work being done across UK ports to strengthen safety culture and reduce repeat failure is something we are deeply committed to supporting. If you are attending and want to explore how COMET can help your organisation improve its approach to risk management, Mark and Craig will be there and ready to talk with you.
