Join us for Australia’s premier bus and coach event of the year! This year’s conference theme is...
UNITY | COLLABORATION | HARMONISATION
It’s a critical moment for our sector: A time to reflect and reassess. Decisions will impact in profound ways. Fundamental to our strength is unity, as it's only via a united front that bus and coach can advance from follower to leader in the national conversation.
This coming together will be more important than ever: as policymakers debate the future of public transport, infrastructure, enviro-policies, industry harmonisation and economic recovery, it’s essential that we speak with one voice. We must illuminate that we are not a collection of disparate parts but one united in our vision for a sustainable, efficient and accessible transport system. And the future lies in collaboration. Together, we form a comprehensive ecosystem that thrives when we join forces. Whether it’s advocacy or addressing shared challenges, we’re more powerful than any one group acting alone. Aligned with our theme, the two-day program will cover industry reform, safety, the latest on ZEBs and associated infrastructure, industrial relations, workforce, finance and other up-to-the-minute issues affecting the sector.
