Next year’s School Bus eXchange will take place at the Embassy Suites in Scottsdale in April. Seen here is the 2016 event.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — School Bus eXchange (SBX) will convene in the Grand Canyon State next spring, organizers announced on Monday.
The 2017 edition of the event, produced by the National Association for Pupil Transportation and School Bus Fleet, will take place at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Scottsdale Resort from April 3 to 5.
SBX, now in its third year, brings together a select group of public and private school bus operators and industry suppliers for roundtable discussions, one-on-one meetings, and other networking activities.
The 2016 edition of SBX was held near Denver in April. Attendees discussed key issues facing the pupil transportation community, including school bus driver shortage, stop-arm running, and fuel choices.
