School Bus Fleet ConneX to Return in 2020
Next year’s event will bring school bus operators and suppliers to Scottsdale, Ariz., for roundtable discussions, one-on-one meetings, and other networking activities.
School Bus Fleet ConneX (SBFX) will convene in Scottsdale, Ariz., from April 22 to 24, 2020. Shown here is a roundtable discussion at the inaugural edition of SBFX, which was held in Miami, Fla., in April 2019.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — School Bus Fleet ConneX (SBFX) will convene in Arizona next spring, organizers announced.
The 2020 edition of the event, produced by School Bus Fleet and parent company Bobit Business Media, will take place at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Scottsdale Resort from April 22 to 24.
SBFX, now in its second year, is designed to connect a diverse, influential group of public and private school transportation service providers with an equally select group of product and service suppliers for an exchange of information, ideas, and solutions. Plans for the event include roundtable discussions, one-on-one meetings, and other networking activities.
The inaugural edition of SBFX was held in Miami, Fla., in April. Attendees brainstormed ideas for school bus driver recruitment and retention, and met with suppliers and bus manufacturers for in-depth discussions about solutions for their operations.
Watch the video below to find out what some of last year's SBFX attendees had to say about the event.
