The 19th conference of the International Conference Series on Competition and Ownership in Land Passenger Transport (The Thredbo Series) will be held on the Islands of Malta from 13 to 17 September 2026.
The Thredbo conference series has garnered a formidable reputation for being the premier international forum dedicated to the analysis and debate of competition and ownership issues in land passenger transport. This influential forum attracts high quality participation and delivers a large portfolio of impressive material synthesising developments not only from developed economies but increasingly from developing economies.
The conference series is directed towards a broad audience of industry players (government and public transport operators), policy makers, planners, decision makers on infrastructure and service operators, consultants, researchers, academics and students. The mix at Thredbo 17 was: Industry (17%), government (14%), consultants (5%), and academics (64%).
