This conference allowed for a very efficient use of my time and that of our team. Well done! Without a doubt the most diverse grouping of attendees of any industry conference I attend. That mix made the conference exceptional. The conference was very well run. Professional all the way." ~ Michael P.

"As an exhibitor you always expect and hope to see crowds of enthusiastic buyers at a trade show. This year’s BusCon was different than years past in that the CROWDS WERE IN ATTENDENCE. I do not ever recall seeing as many name badges of end users as I saw at this year's show. Not only were they in the booth, they were buying. Dealers and their entire sales staffs from across the country were at BusCon to look and learn about all the new product offerings. I had 100% attendance of the bus dealers that I deal with. I had new dealers looking to take on our products and existing dealers looking at adding our new products to their product offerings. I felt that this was the best BusCon that I had attended." ~ Danny Aldridge, FEDERAL COACH, LLC, Fort Smith, AR
