SEARCHCalling all district transportation and contractor leaders: Get away for top-tier networking and education in sunny Scottsdale this September, all at no cost to you. Interested? Here are the details.
If you're a decisionmaker at a school district or private contractor, you're going to want to be in Scottsdale from Sept. 21-23 this year.
School Bus Fleet
School Bus Fleet ConneX (SBFX) is back, and it's all going down Sept. 21-23, 2026 at the Scottsdale Resort & Spa, in Scottsdale, Arizona. (And yes, you want to be there!)
SBFX is a different type of event, and that's by design. This is not your typical trade show or conference. SBFX is all about connecting school bus operators with solutions in an intimate setting that promotes lasting connections you can count on long after the event.
This event is small on purpose. About 50 transportation directors and fleet managers will be approved to attend, and each can count on meaningful networking with vendors and their peers, fantastic food and fun, inspirational sessions, and lots of 1:1 time.
Best of all? Operators can attend for free; that's right, your airfare, on-site transportation, and all meals are on us (and our sponsors). All you have to do is commit to attend and show up!
Operators, learn more and apply to attend here!
Vendors interested in sponsoring, find more info here.
