"In the 20 years since the inaugural conference was held in Thredbo, Australia, (hence it becoming known as the Thredbo series) the series has established itself as the premier international forum dedicated to the analysis and debate of competition and ownership issues in land passenger transport. The series has attracted high quality participation and delivered a large portfolio of impressive material synthesising developments not only from developed economies but increasingly from developing economies. I invite you to participate in this influential forum".
