The organiser of Euro Bus Expo at the NEC Birmingham on 12-14 November, Diversified Communications, has for the first time invited applications to speak in the Masterclass Theatre at the industry’s leading trade show.
Stakeholders including operators, suppliers, industry bodies and government officials can participate in eight themes: investing in our people, fleets of the future/sustainable travel, funding and finance, cities and transport, operations and compliance, back to basics, and innovation.
A range of speaking opportunities are available — from keynotes to lightning talks, panel discussions, case studies, roundtables, workshops, fireside chats, interviews, and one-to-one clinics.
Diversified is looking for presentations that will, for example, help operators to grasp changes in attitudes or upcoming trends, tackle business challenges, improve a practice or process, learn about legislative or regulatory updates, or plan for projects or business developments.
Applications will be reviewed by a panel of operators and authorities. Presentations will be selected based on quality, originality, relevance, and audience interest.
Event Director Helen Conway says: “Euro Bus Expo has always been the go-to platform for discovering what’s new and next in coach and bus. This year, due to popular demand, we’re inviting speaker proposals to shape show content. We strongly believe that diverse perspectives, on-the-ground experiences, shared best practices, and thought-provoking debates are crucial elements for an enriching experience.
“This is a unique opportunity for operators and suppliers to contribute to a community-driven event that leaves a lasting impact on the sector. This new approach to creating the programme reflects our commitment to creating an inclusive platform at Euro Bus Expo.” Applications close on 30 June.
