ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

We are very excited to invite you to our first ever EMEA User Conference hosted in London!

Optibus’ extensive community within the transport industry are invited – ranging from planners and schedulers, to allocators, project managers and anyone working towards building excellent public transport services.

Inspired by the concept of transport hubs, we want to create a forum where we can interconnect our users, across companies and geographies to share knowledge and best practices as we work to make public transport better. Together. With this goal in mind we are excited to launch our first Optibus Hub from where it all began – inside Paddington Station in London.

For two days we will bring together the Optibus Community to discuss how we can all contribute to building a passenger centric and modern public transport ecosystem for future growth. Listen to leading experts and experienced professionals share their know-how, join workshops to deepen your knowledge of our software.

Together, we can continue to make Public Transport Better.
