Description

The 2027 Annual Conference will be hosted by Explore York in York, PA!

The PBA Annual Conference brings motorcoach and group travel professionals together for several outstanding days of networking, education, business development, and memorable experiences at one of the region’s premier destinations.

While we will be experiencing the area with FAMS, Dine-Around Night and Opening & Closing venues at area partners, the meetings will be held at Heritage Hills Resort.
