THE CONFERENCE

Registration is now open for the International Bus Conference part. Following the success of its sell-out edition in 2017, UITP and Busworld have joined forces once again to bring you an unmissable event, the organisations state.

At the International Bus Conference you’ll explore the major trends and developments in the bus sector from an international perspective, they say.

The Conference programme is designed to address both bus-related strategic and operational needs. It will combine the theory with practical and close-up demonstrations to see real-life applications of the topics discussed during the Conference, they explain.
