Time is running out, and so are seats at the upcoming School Bus Fleet ConneX (SBFX), convening September 22-24 in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. In fact, there are currently only three seats left for qualified industry professionals!
School Bus Fleet ConneX (SBFX) is not your usual conference or trade show, and that’s exactly why we think you’ll like it.
Hosted by School Bus Fleet, SBFX is designed exclusively for school transportation leaders to have meaningful conversations, find practical solutions, and make connections that drive success.
Forget crowded trade shows and impersonal sessions. SBFX is a curated experience designed to help you solve real challenges, build your network, and return home with ideas you can implement now.
You’ll network with industry peers from across the country, learn about the latest technology and equipment advancements, participate in inspirational and educational sessions, as well as one-on-one meetings tailored to your interests, enjoy the beautiful Arizona outdoors, and all at no cost to you or your school district.
That’s right, we cover your roundtrip airfare to Phoenix, a two-night luxury hotel stay, ground transfers from the Phoenix airport to the resort, and all scheduled meals.
