“In the one-on-one sessions & presentations you meet with vendors that you wouldn’t have stopped at their booths during a tradeshow, and they end up being vendors that can help with things you wouldn't have known otherwise. What a great experience!"
-Keith Moody, General Manager, Clemson Area Transit (CATbus), Clemson, SC
“Great experience, the networking was awesome, and the information received was welcome and relevant! The event was well organized with a friendly staff."
-Debbie Maxwell, Assistant Director, Treasure Valley Transit, Nampa, ID
“TBX was a fantastic opportunity to spend one-one-one time with vendors. Unlike large conferences, one can forget who they spoke to because the time spent is in passing. The time talking face to face is invaluable and allows for real connections."
