Hosted by the Bus Industry Confederation (BIC), it provides a collaborative forum for sharing knowledge, addressing industry challenges and advancing innovation across the sector.

Practical insights into passenger transport are delivered through keynote presentations, industry discussions and technical sessions exploring policy, infrastructure, safety, sustainability and fleet operations. For bus manufacturers and companies, the conference provides valuable opportunities to connect with transport operators, decision-makers and industry leaders seeking innovative products, technologies and services that support the future of Australia’s passenger transport industry.

Tips for Exhibitors

• Lead with operational impact at the BIC National Conference. Run live equipment demonstrations showing how your tech cuts costs and boosts safety, backing it up with real project case studies that prove long-term performance.
• Deploy specialists who know the sector. Put experienced team members on the floor who can answer tough questions about transport regulations, compliance standards, and daily fleet hurdles.
• Diagnose before recommending. Listen to each visitor’s specific operational friction, fleet size, and project timelines so you can tailor your pitch to their exact needs.
• Network with key decision-makers at the BIC National Conference. Use official conference sessions and evening events to connect directly with transport operators, government representatives, and primary contractors.
• Provide clear post-show resources. Hand out scannable QR codes, product guides, and case studies, emphasising your long-term support model so stakeholders can easily pitch your solution internally.
• If you have multiple shows in a year, pick reliable displays that move with you. From lightboxes to non-illuminated frames, and from foldable and fabric tube types to modular displays for your event needs.
