The countdown to the first BUS2BUS is running. In six months, on 25 and 26 April 2017, the bus and supplier industry will be able to use an independent business platform for its customers in Germany. BUS2BUS will be held in Berlin, the hotspot of the bus sector. BUS2BUS is organized jointly by Messe Berlin and the Federal Association of German Bus Operators (BDO) e.V. The new show will be held every two years and brings bus operators together with bus manufacturers, suppliers, service providers and visionaries.

BUS2BUS combines three ‘impulse moments’: the market place, the already established bdo congress and the ‘Future Forum’. The market square is the central point of contact for trade visitors. Many programme topics of the Future Forum can be found there, as well as all networking events of the BDO congress.

At the BDO congress, economic trends and political topics are discussed next to strategies for the promotion of public transport, travel and long-distance buses. The connecting element between marketplace and bdo congress is the Future Forum. Workshops, technology events, pitches and keynotes on ‘Sustainable mobility’, ‘Autonomous driving concepts’ and ‘Innovative Services’ will provide strong impulses for the industry.
