The BIC National Conference 2024, will be held at the Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart, Tasmania between 20-22 November 2024.
The 2024 Conference provides BIC Members, government representatives and the greater industry, with an opportunity to come together to network and hear about National and International issues within the Bus and Coach Industry. The Conference is open to the entirety of the bus and coach industry.
The 2024 Conference theme is Connect | Adapt | Transform
Connect | As we embark on an era where Australian buses and coaches require connection to new sources of energy, we also acknowledge that connection is a powerful impactor that is a catalyst for action between organisations, workforces, and the greater industry. Strengthen existing and build new and lasting professional connections via our suite of networking events, specifically geared to promote meaningful and engaging relationships.
Adapt | Our industry has been required to continually adapt to build and maintain resilience. Explore the tools for adapting to our fast-approaching landscape and learn about the latest technologies, industry modelling, and strategies for renewed success.
Transform | Global technological, environmental, and societal transformation shifts the way we run our businesses on a local and national level. Get ahead of the curve and gain valuable insights into the relationship between the transformative mechanisms impacting our industry.
