Good Day!

Will you be joining us at the 2022 PBA Annual Meeting? The event will be held June 19-22, 2022 at Wyndham Garden, State College, PA and hosted by Happy Valley Adventure Bureau. We are also kicking-off our big centennial celebration in State College as we turn 100 in 2023. We have special events and giveaways planned.

Registration is OPEN and we are looking forward to seeing everyone! Registration deadline is June 3, 2022.

The meeting welcomes motorcoach operators and tour planners, associate members, and travel supplier members to increase business opportunities.

The ever-popular Industry Expo and the Sales Retreat will be back again!

Industry Expo with a TWIST!
This is an opportunity for bus manufacturers and all vendors serving the motorcoach industry to have one-on-one time with PBA Operator members at the Operator's table to "talk shop" in a speed-dating format. With a variety of networking opportunities at the annual meeting, any associate member can continue that networking during the evening events, hospitality suites, etc. Note, Operator and Associate Members must register for this event for table space and format organization.

Sales Retreat
This event provides unlimited business opportunities between PBA’s motorcoach operator members and travel suppliers at the annual meeting! The operators have a table and the travel suppliers will be divided into group A and B so that everyone has time to visit with the operators without standing in line and waiting. Everyone will have 6 minute visits at motorcoach operator tables. There is plenty of time to visit all the operators so that you can talk about your property, attraction, venue, etc. Note, Operator and Travel Supplier Members must register for this event for table space and format organization.

The FAM experiences, networking, business opportunities, and education make this a must-attend event.

The 3-day schedule can be found on our event webpage dedicated to the Annual Meeting. For the full speaker listing, you can find it on the same webpage or here.

Also, while we have you, please don't forget to submit your Driver and Employee of Distinction nomination! The award presentation will take place at the luncheon on June 21st. The deadline to submit your nomination is May 1st.
