Good Morning!
Pennsylvania Bus Association is looking ahead to 2026 Annual Conference and Marketplace events. To this point, we are accepting proposals from Member DMO's and CVB's to host these two events through December 31, 2024.
Hosting a PBA event brings tremendous value to your region in sales and raises awareness through our marketing efforts, including social media.
A recent example came in the form of a testimonial from Chautauqua County CVB. Last year we hosted our Annual Conference in Jamestown NY.
See what Andrew Nixon, Executive Director of their the CVB, had to say about the after effects of hosting the Annual Conference in their region:
“Hosting the PBA Annual Meeting & Conference has been a truly fulfilling opportunity for our area. The event allowed us to demonstrate how well we can host a corporate sales function while also giving the wonderful Pennsylvania tour operator members of PBA a chance to experience our region first-hand. Working with PBA’s staff and members to bring their Annual Meeting to Chautauqua County, NY has been one of the most beneficial things we could have done in terms of developing tour operator relationships”.
Andrew Nixon, Executive Director, Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau
Don't miss a great opportunity to showcase your area! Please review the information below on both events. If you are interested in hosting, please visit our 2026 event pages for a copy of the bid specs. Note, Marketplace should be hosted within Pennsylvania:
We have created standard bid specs each year and send them out two-four times a year. This information is also published on our website, so you need not wait for an email to be in the know.
