The speaker line-up for the first UK Bus and Coach Conference, to be held virtually on 12-13 January 2021, has been announced. 

Organised by the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT), the Conference will be opened by Transport Minister Baroness Vere. She will deliver a keynote speech on the future of the coach and bus industry. 

Headline speakers on day one will be Woods Travel of Bognor Regis Managing Director (MD) Kristy Elsmere and Transdev Blazefield CEO Alex Hornby. Ms Elsmere will look at how coach tourism operators can adapt to a changing market in the wake of coronavirus COVID-19. Mr Hornby will talk about how Transdev has instilled a sense of confidence in its passengers during the pandemic. 

Day two will see McGill’s Buses Chief Executive Ralph Roberts host a panel discussion involving representatives of leading vehicle manufacturers. They will talk about the coaches and buses of tomorrow and their plans to ensure that they meet the needs of operators and passengers.
