RWTA Networking Night at Spotswood Hotel Welcomes New Faces and Big Ideas

On a clear and crisp Wednesday evening in Melbourne, the RWTA community gathered at the Spotswood Hotel for a vibrant networking function that exceeded expectations. With strong representation across the cold chain sector—including a notable number of “RWTA Curious” non-members—it was a night marked by connection and momentum.

The casual setting fostered meaningful conversation, with attendees keen to expand their networks, exchange insights, and explore opportunities for collaboration. Longstanding members and first-timers alike embraced the RWTA spirit, building relationships that drive real business outcomes across refrigerated warehousing and transport.

Guests engaged in dynamic conversations around industrial relations reforms in 2026 and their implications for transport, as well as the impact of new technologies in cutting energy output costs by over a third. Staffing trends, sustainability, and Australia’s evolving position in global supply chains were also front and centre.

Events like these continue to show the strength of the RWTA network—and the value of creating space for thought leadership and genuine connection.

Thank you to all who attended and contributed to a successful and enjoyable evening.
