GAPT 2026 Conference Lineup:

Three Opportunities to Connect, Learn, and Grow!

GAPT is excited to share that 2026 will be a standout year with three major conferences and trade shows designed to bring together pupil transportation professionals and valued vendor partners from across Georgia and beyond. With multiple opportunities to learn, network, and showcase innovations, we’re looking forward to an exceptional year of collaboration and professional growth.

We’ll kick off the year with our Fleet Conference and Trade Show, taking place June 1–3, 2026 at the Clarence Brown Conference Center in Cartersville. This event will spotlight fleet operations, maintenance, and equipment—alongside a trade show featuring the products and services that keep our industry moving forward.

Next, we head to the coast for our Summer Conference and Trade Show, hosted at the Jekyll Island Convention Center from June 15–18, 2026. This is one of our most anticipated events of the year and will feature engaging sessions, networking opportunities, leadership development, and an expansive vendor showcase. Registration information for the Summer Conference will be released shortly, so keep an eye on your inbox!

Finally, we’ll wrap up the year with our Winter Conference and Trade Show in October, closing out 2026 with one more opportunity to connect, celebrate progress, and prepare for the year ahead. (Dates and location will be announced soon.)

In addition to our conference schedule, GAPT will also be sharing professional development opportunities throughout the year, including course offerings through the Southeastern Pupil Transportation College (SPTC). These trainings are a key part of our commitment to supporting professional growth at every level of pupil transportation operations
