Past BHA Conventions – Bus History Association

Bus History Association Conventions are held on an annual basis, generally alternating between a host city in Canada one year and a host city in the United States the next. In areas where many bus properties can be visited within a day’s drive, one host city is usually planned, with activities radiating out from a host hotel within the host city. Conventions in multiple cities have been planned, either with carpools between cities, or with the convention starting in one host city, spending nights elsewhere, then returning. Details on the upcoming 2024 BHA Convention in Denver, CO can be found here.
