Visitor registration for Euro Bus Expo has opened, with event organiser Diversified Communications noting that over 80% of exhibition space has been sold at five months out in expectation of a strong return for the industry’s leading trade show.
Euro Bus Expo will be held at the NEC Birmingham on 12-14 November. Over 200 exhibitors from across the coach, bus and mini vehicle segments are set to be present. Visitors will be able to explore the latest vehicles along with products and services that enhance their operations.
Registration is free and can be done via the Euro Bus Expo website. Many vehicle dealerships and manufacturers are already confirmed as exhibiting alongside numerous businesses and organisations in the supply and support side of the industry. A host of new names are among both those rosters.
Such a breadth of exhibitors will ensure that Euro Bus Expo is “a must-attend for operators, local authorities, community transport organisations, transport planners and municipalities from across the UK and Europe,” says Diversified.
It adds that with many debut names already on the exhibitor list alongside a host of established supporters, Euro Bus Expo’s long history of heralding vehicle, service and product launches will continue in 2024.
Also key to the trade show is the Masterclass Theatre. It will host a free programme of seminars that share insight and knowledge from industry experts, authorities and operators, with sessions to cover a wide range of topics that are critical to the sector’s future.
Diversified continues to invite speaker proposals for the Masterclass Theatre, in a shift from previous editions of Euro Bus Expo. Those can be submitted via the show website.
Event Director Helen Conway underlines that Euro Bus Expo remains the go-to trade show for the industry to explore what is new and to compare established vehicles, products and services.
Mrs Conway adds: “We are overwhelmed by the quality of applications coming in for the Masterclass Theatre. It is shaping up to be one of our strongest programmes to date. Exhibition space is filling up fast, so if you are a manufacturer or a supplier, we urge you to get in touch to avoid disappointment.”
Graham Vidler, Chief Executive of show partner the Confederation of Passenger Transport, notes that with 2024 possibly seeing major landscape change for the industry, Euro Bus Expo “comes at a perfect time” to showcase the sector.
“I am excited to see the innovative products and ideas coming forward at both the trade show and the Masterclass Theatre. It promises to be an unmissable event for everyone in the industry,” says Mr Vidler.
Euro Bus Expo sits alongside the routeone Awards, which recognise excellence among people and operators in the industry. The presentation evening will be held on 13 November at The Vox at Resorts World Birmingham, with ticket sales now open.
