School Bus Fleet ConneX will feature roundtable discussions, one-on-one meetings with suppliers, and networking activities. Seen here is another event produced by School Bus Fleet parent company Bobit Business Media.

A new event from School Bus Fleet next year will bring together school transportation officials and suppliers to network and discuss key industry issues.
The inaugural School Bus Fleet ConneX (SBFX) will take place April 1 to 3, 2019, at the Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon. Plans for the event include roundtable discussions, one-on-one meetings with suppliers, and networking activities.
For the past four years, School Bus Fleet partnered with the National Association for Pupil Transportation on a similar event. The new event, SBFX, will be produced exclusively by School Bus Fleet and parent company Bobit Business Media.
School bus operators who are selected to attend SBFX will be offered a hosted trip, which includes round-trip airfare, local airport transfers to and from the resort, all scheduled meals, and receptions.
The SBFX 2019 application process is slated to open soon. For more information, go to www.schoolbusfleetconnex.com.
