Applications now being accepted for School Bus eXchange
The event, a partnership between NAPT and SBF, will bring together a select group of school bus operators and suppliers to exchange information and build relationships.
School bus operators and suppliers can now apply to take part in the inaugural School Bus eXchange (SBX).
The website for the event, www.sbxconnect.com, is now live, and online application forms are available for public and private school bus operators and for industry suppliers.
SBX, a partnership between the National Association for Pupil Transportation and School Bus Fleet magazine, will bring together a select group of school transportation providers, along with product and service suppliers, to exchange information and build relationships.
The agenda for the event, to be held April 6-8 near Dallas, includes working with an “expert in residence” on data-driven decision-making, roundtable discussions with peers, one-on-one consultations with suppliers, networking events and social functions.
NAPT and SBF officials said that SBX will be kept small to foster an intimate, focused learning environment. Those interested in attending are encouraged to apply at www.sbxconnect.com.
