About
The annual NAPT Conference & Trade Show is consistently
recognized as the premier school transportation conference in the nation
- and it’s for good reason. Each year, over the course of just 4 days,
we offer over 3-dozen different workshops on an array of important
topics – like managing human resources; establishing and evaluating Key
Performance Indicators and benchmarks; writing an effective bid;
managing liability by mitigating risk; and developing an effective
preventive maintenance plan. You can also choose from more than a dozen
different courses from the NAPT Professional Development Series, the
most comprehensive and practical educational program ever created for
the school bus industry.
Along with providing cutting edge curriculum, the event also serves
as the showcase for the newest products and the latest technology the
industry has to offer. The NAPT Trade Show is the biggest and best
gathering of school bus manufacturers and school transportation product
suppliers; the variety of products and services on display each year
under one roof is amazing.
The annual NAPT Conference & Trade Show is called “The Summit”
because it is a wonderful opportunity to meet school transportation
professionals from across the nation. The networking opportunities at
the conference are virtually limitless.
We encourage you to join us this year in Portland.
