At RSI, there will be over 700 exhibitors.
Later in the week, BROOKVILLE will head to Orlando, Florida for the APTA EXPO & Transform Conference. This show last took place in 2021, after the cancellation of the show in 2020. APTA EXPO only happens every three years with over 670 exhibitors. This show consists of business professionals coming together to talk about ways to improve their area’s transit, whether by bus or rail. The next show is scheduled for 2026 in Chicago, IL.
To round out the tradeshow schedule for 2023, BROOKVILLE will be heading to Phoenix, Arizona for MPACT from November 5th through November 8th, previously called Railvolution.
